Why There May Be A Supplementary Election (run-off) by Niorte: 1:24pm On Feb 26, 2019
I am forseeing a runoff of the presidential election. While the APC is actually in the lead, it is a fact to say that PDP did better in figures than last general election. For instances, in 2015 APC won Oyo state while PDP won Ekiti. Now the opposite is the case. Oyo state was won by APC in 2015 with a margin of 0ver 200k but PDP has exchanged Ekiti with lower population for Oyo.

In same light PDP exchanged Nasarrawa state for Ondo. It must be noted that Kaduna state was won by APC in 2015 with a very large margin but PDP has been able to close the gap relatively.

What many people don't know is that APC are winning there usual stronghold with lesser margin than in 2015 while PDP are increasing their votes I'm the north and southwest mainly.

According to INEC, there will be a run-off when the difference of votes between the FIRST and SECOND is LESS than the TOTAL NUMBER OF CANCELLED VOTES AND NUMBERS OF REGISTERED VOTERS DISENFRANCHISED

Many people are not paying attention to the number of cancelled votes... But I am.

APC might win but I am of the opinion that the difference will be lesser than the number of cancelled votes hence there will be a supplementary election

Why are you giving yourself false hope? Buhari will win the election with nothing less than 3m. Go and join your fellow wailers

Let's wait and see.

In 2015, he did not win GEJ with such a margin and Atiku has performed better in this election, so tell me where the 3 million is coming from.

In 2015, Kaduna had over 1.1 million votes for APC such has been reduced to 900k mean while PDP votes in Kaduna increased from that of 2015

You guys only focus on the margin in the North. Now with same strength, focus on SS/SE and compare what happened in 2015 to what is happening right now. That would help you.
