That is what it should be.
I'm not here to bandy words with lazy APC fans, they can go ahead and search out/ confirm the position of the law in respect to the that election and the matters arising.

But two options are opened for INEC according to the Law:

1. INEC declares the living candidate that scored the highest number of votes winner;

2. INEC conducts a fresh polls altogether, after it would have given APC enough time to conduct a fresh primaries and come out with a candidate.

Anything other than this would tantamount to absolute lawlessness and a terrible precedence that will hunt everyone in future.

Am surprised that u are susprised at ur party.

Ephemmm:
“With the unfortunate death of Prince Abubakar Audu, the APC has no valid candidate in the election, leaving INEC with no other lawful option than to declare the PDP candidate, Capt. Idris Wada, as the winner of the election,” the communiqué said.

[b]Metuh must be high on weed, honestly.

Nigerian constitution gives no room for independent candidate: all candidates vying for any position must come under the platform of a political party. Up till today, the only independent candidate Nigerian would have had was MKO Abiola, who political parties were running after to contest on their platform before he finally choose the one that pleases him in 1993. So, this is the reason why no candidate's name can ever appear on electoral ballot except during the party's primary.

In the same vein, it is also worthy of note that irrespective of the popularity or general acceptability of the candidate in his electoral jurisdiction, party takes the glory. This is what was obtainable in the case of Amaechi in River; Amaechi was brought in as a Governor under PDP after the election has been concluded, whereas he was not the PDP's recognized candidate when the election was conducted.

PDP is fighting a lost battle, in that even if occurrence like this was not made provision for in Nigerian constitution, the fact still remains that he Audu has a valid deputy and a runner-up during the primary election conducted by APC.[/b]

Xetima:

Amaechi case is TOTALLY different. The elections were concluded and result announced and Certificate of return issued to a PDP candidate. Therefore, once Omehia' candidacy was invalidated, the next candidate was elected. On Audu case, the elections were inconclusive. Assuming it was the LP candidate that died would INEC wait for them to hold another primaries or substitute the candidate? By reason of Audu's death, APC rightly crashed out of the race. The electoral laws does not support any other options other than to return the living candidate with the highest vote.
