A party can only replace its candidate only before the start of election proper! That is why the constitution stands! If there is a void the election should be cancelled and a new date announced by the power of the courts! The statement from inec is robbery on the electorate 1 Like 1 Share |

The INEC is a disappointment to moral justice for saying a thing like this. This is because; 1. When an individual votes, he/she votes for a candidate and not the party. 2. Voting for a candidate means voting for the candidates personality. 3. It will be considered injustice at optimum height if the votes which was casted for late prince ABUBAKAR AUDU (i.e his personality) of The APC is transferred to another man. Finally, if INEC proves that it is the party that votes are being casted for, then it's good enough to conduct a general election before the primaries. i.e after the general election then any party that emerges the winner will then present any candidate of their choice. By the virtue of the points above , if a new primary election should be carried out by the APC, then a new general election must also be repeated. 1 Like 2 Shares |
