The rules clearly define what constitutes winning under Nigerian constitutional law, including outright victories or runoffs before a generous long-stop deadline of October 31, 2027. Primary resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting, with a clear fallback to official results from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Nigerian government sources if ambiguity arises. The market also explicitly excludes interim or caretaker appointments and provides a default resolution to Other if no definitive winner emerges before the deadline.
