Nigeria's president elected by "direct election." This means that A) the "electoral college" determines the winner. B) the winner receives a majority of the popular vote. C) the legislative branch has to determine the winner. D) the winning candidate must receive 75% of the vote.

Answer 1

B) the winner receives a majority of the popular vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the United States, the president of the country is chosen in an indirect way. He is chosen based on a combination of popular votes and the electoral vote. However, many other presidential systems do not have an Electoral College. This is the case in Nigeria. In this country, the president is elected by "direct election." This means that the winner of the elections is the person who receives a majority of the popular vote.
