frisky2good:What do you expect when the constitution was hurriedly put together by few military criminals? That's why we want a constitution where Nigerians will sit down together and make a law that will govern them. Anything apart from that, we will continue to see the country as a zoo..  |

The Angle of d Law
According to “1. Section 34 of the Electoral
Act 2006 only empowers a party to
substitute nominated candidates not later
than 60 days to election and upon
application giving cogent and verifiable
reasons so to do." Hence the Deputy has to
continue with d Mandate...However, the
bone of Contention is whether or not the
elections have to be re run or a fresh election
be conducted. But as it stands I don't see
any legal interpretation strong enough to
advocate for a conclusion of d elections.
INEC will be setting a big Precedence in this
case. As it stands we have a long film to
watch as The Supreme Court would be called
in for interpretation.. 1 Like |

A new candidate will be presented to the Inec by APC and the inconclusive election has to be cancelled for new one to be conducted. Par adventure if it happens to another candidate of different party cancellation will still occur. If this persists within the stipulated time a sole administrator will be appointed by the president till elected governor emerged. |
