The implication is bad. A party can sponsor independent candidates in certain regions/states to reduce chances of rival party candidates. For instance if my party is not popular in the SS and SE, I can sponsor 2 or 3 Presidential Candidates in each region to split votes while I get block votes from my region. 1 Like 1 Share |

fyneguy:I don't see why people are heaping praise on your argument, as I don't think it shows any insight whatsoever. Aren't the electorate supposed to do their homework before voting? Where is their responsibility to make an informed choice in your analysis? If people actually bother to read the news and look at the manifestos and track records of candidates before making their choice, how can having more candidates to choose from be a bad thing? One more thing worth adding: by your own reasoning, if a party sponsors multiple candidates in another region (without INEC learning about it), then what's stopping a party with a strong support base in that region from retaliating in the first party's own home base? Your argument only makes sense here if you think ethnic parties with support in only one region have any business running for the presidency of an entire country. TLDR: More choice is better, and allowing candidates to run without needing the support of PDP or APC godfathers is better still. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

But I thought two thirds majority was needed for this kind of thing. Keeping our fingers crossed to see what social media will say tomorrow. Tomorrow you might see 'We did not approve independent candidacy'- Senate. |

Re: Senate Okays Independent Candidature For Elections by fyneguy: 9:25pm On Jul 26, 2017 |
omohayek: Calm down and read the next paragraph, with a thinking cap. The party system ensures a broader and wider (Nationwide) acceptability before a candidate emerges as the PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. While I agree the parties are not doing enough in their choices, with respect to the quality of candidates, this new system will be abused and moneybags will easily get into offices using the parties. In the case of Independent Candidacy, Party XYZ that has acceptability issues in certain regions or states will only sponsor some of their members with perceived good reputations in those states/regions, so as to split votes. I give you an example: My Party, NDN, enjoys a large following in the North but is hated in the SS and SE. All my Party needs to do is to look for Party members from those regions/states with relative good reputations to vie for Presidency as IC's . Hence, I can get Pat Utomi (Delta), Donald Duke (Cross River), Akpabio ((Akwa Ibom), Oshiomole (Edo), Timi Alaibe (Bayelsa), then one Rivers guy for SS; Orji Uzor Kalu, Onu, and other notable Igbos to contest. These states will vote for their sons and daughters, as the case may be, While I secure my bloc votes in the North. |
