1. Double nomination falls under Non- qualification of a candidate under section 134 (a) of Electoral Act, 2022 and, is also one of the grounds you can challenge an election through Election Petition.

2. Non qualification or double nomination of a candidate can be challenged by a person within the Party that nominated the candidate and also a person who is from another politcal party or another politcal party itself.

3. Double nomination can be challenged before or after Election ( if it is before Election, we call it "pre Election matter" and if it after the Election we call it "post Election matter".

4. If you are challenging double nomination or non-qualification of a candidate before the election (Pre Election matter) then, you have to be a member of the politcal party that nominated the candidate you are challenging. An external person cannot challenge it before the election because it is at that time an internal affair of the party that nominated him.

5. But if it is after Election, any other candidate from another politcal party or another politcal party itself can now challenge it through Election Petition under non- qualification. At this time, it is called non- qualification of such candidate. You incorporate it in your Election Petition. That is what LP did.

Shettima's non- qualification will still be raised again in the Supreme Court by Peter Obi and Supreme will still have to determine it again in Peter Obi's Petition. Shettima has not gone scot free. The double nomination will still rear its ugly head again.

But PDP did not wait for the election to come before they challenged the double nomination, that is why Supreme Court threw their case out because at that time, it was an internal affairs of APC; it did not concern PDP or any other party at that time. It is after the election that other candidates or other politcal parties can competently challenge it which is what Labour Party did. Peter Obi and his team are Election Petition gurus!

Ok. Now I understand better. Mark this down, His Excellency, Sir PETER GREGORY OBI will reclaim his mandate and the youths of this country will celebrate. I salute all OBIDIENTS in the house. Beast ur spirit, salutamus.

I don't know where all this is coming from.

The Supreme Court said you have no locus except you are an aspirant who participated in the Primaries.

It is a pre-election matter clearly by all standards, is it the tribunal or post-election that will grant locus to same?

The decision today has foreclosed anything that has to do with that matter. The PEPT will just janglover around that issue before it ultimately meets same fate.

I am telling you that anyone telling otherwise is not telling you the truth.

Double nomination is a strict pre-election matter that the tribunal has no input in. If Atiku doesn't have the locus, is it another Candidate that will?

Selection or nomination of a Candidate is strictly an internal affair of that Party, no other person has that right.

The SC has said this in Rt. Hon. Prince Terhemen Tarzoor V. Ortom Samuel Ioraer & Ors..

If you must challenge the qualification/non-qualification of any Candidate running for President/VP according to S134 of the EA 2022, the issues associated therein must associate with Sections 131 & 137 of the 1999 CFRN. Forgive my been verbose here.

The Supreme Court also said that Shettima resigned his senatorial nomination on 6th July. Also he did not go to the polls as a candidate for 2 elections.

You'll tell us if you're the INEC that Shetima submitted his senatorial form to. Even your PitObi collected 2 forms under 2 different parties.

Bros.....are you now telling me, A husband murdered his wife, and only the wife people can take the husband to court?. Therefore I don't have jurisdiction to take the husband to court even if I have overwhelmingly evidence that the husband committed the murder? You must be joking. If it was a pre election matter, why didn't obi take Tinubu to court before the elections?
He knew they would throw the matter out the window because for pre elections matter is an internal party affair. But after the primaries and the main elections has started, things have now become an external party affair. Did the Judge say Shittema was free from the double Nomination? No. What the supreme court said is they don't have the jurisdiction to handle the case.

seanfer:


The Supreme Court also said that Shettima resigned his senatorial nomination on 6th July. Also he did not go to the polls as a candidate for 2 elections.

So when did he accept the nomination from Tinubu?

That is what our lawmakers passed in the Electoral Act.

B. The suit is statute-barred.

C. The SC quoted Section 285(14)c - Pre-Election matter and ran more than 180 days)

You may need to read the full judgement. The OP is actually not correct. The supreme court has ruled on the case not just throwing it away.

They specifically mentioned that Shetrima withdrew on 6th April immediately he was nominated for VP, another election was conducted on 11th April for the senatorial candidates which INEC was notified of, so there can't be any issue of double nomination on 14th.

That laid to rest anything about double nomination, the tribunal must toe the line of supreme court on this.



We learn everyday.

Double nomination is dead and buried.
SC made its stand clear, it strictly a pre election matter and internal affairs of the party.
