May her soul rest in peace.

Going into voting day, some polls have Mr. Obi leading the presidential race. To win in the first round, a candidate must garner the most votes, including at least 25% of the votes in two-thirds of the country’s 36 states and the capital, Abuja. So a runoff election is a possibility. It’s not that Mr. Obi, who is 61, is particularly youthful himself, though he is the youngest major presidential candidate by a decade.

They hung it on the dashboard of their cars for all eyes to see, especially those frustrated looking men and women standing under the rain with umbrellas that barely shielded them from the heavy rainfall.
