Why not state that the second position from the primary conducted should replace the dead candidate instead of conducting fresh primaries that might result into another hooliganism activities or waste of public fund.

Good one but what about senators defecting to other parties?. I think he or she should automatically lose his/her seat

This new law gets kleg, Its very simple. Lets assume that election is conducted in Kwara state, we all know that APC and PDP are on ground and it is also known fact that other light weight political parties will participate in the election.

Now, if PDP sees that APC is gaining ground on election day, PDP might use thug to assassinate a light weight ACCORD party candidate, hence, the loser will go to court and claim that the election is null and void because ACCORD PARTY candidate died before the announcement of result.

This amendment will create another avenue for lawyers to chop more money and encourage political assassination.

U misunderstood the proposed amendment. Siting your example, if an accord party candidate died before election or announcement of result, Accord party will be given 14days to run a fresh primary within itself and INEC will continue the electoral process within 21days. The election will not be null and void simply because an Accord candidate died before announcement of result.


BTW: The clause 3(c) is a subtle way of bringing us back to the past. How could they make such amendment. this means the politicians can still rig the election like they have always done in the past. This clause downsized the importance of the card reader and hence makes it unimportant as well as creates room for the old method of rigging elections coming back. PLEASE REMOVE CLAUSE 3(c). It is against the progress of democracy and the positive usage of the card readers.
