How Buhari Will Win This Election (majority Votes & 25% In 2/3 Of The 36states) by bolliejay(m): 9:48am On Mar 31, 2015 |
Culled from INEC site; APPENDIX 1: POLITICAL AND ELECTORAL SYSTEM Nigeria is a federation comprising 36 States and one Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja and 774 Local Government Areas. INEC conducts elections for executive and legislative positions in Federal and State government. In addition, INEC is also responsible for conducting elections into the Area Councils in the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja. Elections into local government councils in the 36 States of Nigeria are conducted by the State Independent Electoral Commissions which are outside of INEC’s authority. 1.1 EXECUTIVE OFFICES For each election, the country is divided into constituencies With respect to positions in the executive arm of government the entire country is treated as one constituency for the Presidential election and the Chairman of INEC is statutorily designated as the Chief Electoral Officer in Presidential Elections. Each of the 36 States constitutes a constituency for the purpose of elections into the offices of the governors at the State level. Each Area Council in the FCT is also treated as a constituency for the purpose of electing an Area Council Chairman. Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution prescribes the conditions that candidates must fulfil in order to be declared winners in an election into an executive office. These conditions are as follows: 1.1(a) PRESIDENT A person is duly elected as president, where if there are more than one candidates, he or she scores a majority of votes as well as at least one-quarter of the votes cast in each of two third of the states of the federation. Where, however, there is only one candidate, he must obtain a majority of YES votes over NO votes as well as not less than one- quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all states in the country and the Federal Capital Territory. 18 1.1(b) RUN-OFF (1st and 2nd ) In default of a candidate being elected as stated in paragraph (a) above, a second election run-off shall be held within seven days as follows:- (i) Election between the candidate that scores the highest number of votes and another with highest majority of votes in the highest number of states. Where there is more than one candidate with the highest number of states, the candidate with the highest total votes among them shall be second candidate. (ii) A failure of either of the candidates to meet the majority of votes and score of over a quarter of votes cast in each of at least two third of all the states and FCT, winner at two third and last run-off elections shall be the candidate who scores the majority of votes cast in the election The summary of the above is that aside Majority votes(GMB IS already leading by 2,032,226votes), You must have aleast 1quarter(25%) in atleast 2/3 of all states(24states).
