The case of GEJ Yar Adua is diff from this, they were president and vice respectively, but audu and faleke were candidate and running mate since the election was declared inconclusive and no winner has been announced. There is a supplementary election within 14 days which the APC can present another candididate that would eventually inherit the vote cast for Audu. The law actually did not make provision for what will happen if death occurs at this stage but only made provision if death occurs before and after election. Now it should be noted that the death occurred during the process of the election . the closest provision is that APC can substitute but after interpretation by the election tribunal. Now talking of faleke, he cannot just step in automatically unless there is a favourable party internal rules that would favour him but the right thing to do aside that is to make reference to the party primary election result that produced a winner and a second, third position. Note that it would be morally wrong to assume faleke should step in since he did not contest any primary election but only a spare tire. Had it been that Audu had been declared a winner, then it becomes his right. Fingers crossed. |

[quote author=Clevite post=40360137]The ball is in APC's court. They have two options left for them. It's either they fill the space with the candidate second in position to Audu at the party primaries or with Abiodun Faleke who is already a joint contestant with Audu for the people's mandate. The mandate primarily belongs to the party and the Party has the sole decision to chose who to give it to among its eligible members. Only two APC's members are eligible in the circumstance at hand to fill in the vacuum. It's either a party member who contested in the party primaries that produced Audu in the first place, in which case the candidate that came closest to Audu in votes then may most likely fit in, or the candidate in joint contest with him for the party's mandate in the Guber elections, which is still ongoing. As it is now, the APC maintains the right to chose from either of them as there is no law that specifically states they must consider previous party primaries to chose the candidate to fill Audu's position in the circumstance. [you just spoke my mind.... I wonder why some people just come up here talking trash on the ground of their ethno-religion mentality ] |

baby124: This is too complicated for your logic to match it. I am in support of the deputy continuing with the election; however, the law explicitly states that the deputy can take over if and only if they have been elected. As it stands, APC candidates are yet to be elected, thus APC has the right substitute the deceased candidate. On another note, the deputy has ran for the elections alongside the principal partially; APC cannot deny the deputy the fruits of his labour. It all boils down to Tinubu! |

" if the candidate has duly elected b4 his death , the deputy will take over " but in this case , Late Audi is yet to be declared. no winner as at this present moment . so section 33 must prevail . thanks |

agabusta:Unfortunately no judicial authority or statute were cited but i will pass S181(1) of the 1999 constitution as amended which you premised your first bolded point is IRRELEVANT IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS SIMPLY BECAUSE AUDU/FALEKE DID NOT WIN Do you understand Second bolded The Electoral act says that a candidate must have passed through all forms of electoral processes, such processes include Primaries involving either statutory delegates or ward level delegates, screening, Valid Nomination within the party primaries unfortunately James Faleke did not meet this requirements and S181(1) does not avail him. |

Eruditor: The death of a governorship candidate after an election but before declaration of results is not a ground for cancelling an election. INEC cannot cancel the over 240,000 votes gathered by APC during the elections. The grounds for cancelling an election includes, violence, ballot snatching, fake results, multitude voting, etc, but never death of a candidate. Only a court can cancel an election once it had been declared valid by INEC cannot. |

You are a biased AGF. If it is good for APC to conduct a fresh primaries, it should equally be expedient for Inec to conduct a fresh election. What laws support 2 candidates garnering votes for a party in governorship election? I can only conclude that some body odour is responsible for this undemocratic decision. |

Re: APC Will Only Substitute Audu For Kogi Supplementary Election - Attorney General by aboto77: 11:30pm On Nov 24, 2015 |
Prince Audu Abubakar's demise will certainly give
rise to constitutional and electoral act amendment.
Sections 32 35 and 181 are all commingled in section
33 with resplendent exegesis but devoid of requisite
panacea as in the case of APC-Audu's death during
election.
The INEC chairman should exude a flagrant level of
shrewdness and sagacity in addressing this electoral
quizzical conundrum, by acting in accordance to the
provisions of the law, so as to ensconce the legibility
and legality of INEC.
I must again avouch that tension will metamorphose
into expressed aversion, ire, hubbub and all forms of
fiendish activities, if the law is amended with
shenanigan and skulduggery. Let's make it right as
#KOGISTILLDECIDES. |

I doubt if the AGF truly understand the issue at stake, its not about one being a Senior Advocate, What the AGF has ask INEC to do is complete misapplication of the law, the decision stand logic on its head. The beneficiary of the process should be Mr Faleke becos its a joint ticket, so he earns the votes not any new candidate. Finally the AGF ought to have approach the Supreme Court, becos there is enough time, instead of taking decision on his own afterall he is of the executive arm and it is the judiciary that interprete and fill up legal lacunas. 1 Like |
