The number of inconclusive elections before the Yakubu INEC is 1 - O. N. E

Since then INEC has used this ambiguous guideline to propagate an agenda...

To those of us who understand electoral laws, we know that elections are inconclusive because they do not meet up with the requirement to be declared conclusive.

I will urge the OP to use this thread to educate political illiterates on the conditions outlined in the electoral law, that need to be met before an election can be conclusive, for which the inability to meet such conditions would make an election inconclusive.

A lot of people need to be educated.

By the way, the very first inconclusive election, was Ngige vs Akunyili, for the Senate seat from Anambra in 2011.

The next was in Kogi 2016, when Abubakar Audu of APC was leading the PDP with an almost unassailable gap, but INEC declared it inconclusive as the cancelled votes was still beyond the huge margin. An already ill Audu died of heart attack upon hearing INEC's decision.

Why on earth will Nigerians apologize to a corrupt Maurice Iwu of the Obasanjo do or die election infamy?

Tell Maurice Iwu not to hold his breath expecting any apology, but should be expectant that he will someday pay for his daylight robberies of results allocation.

Elections under APC have been marred with deliberate irregularities and malpractices usually in its favour and INEC is apparently unable to shake off the stench of political/executive influence that makes nonsense of its 'Independence'.

In summary, if the margin between the leading candidate and the next is less than the number of cancelled votes the election is so called declared inconclusive.

However,

Beyond the reality of politicians deliberately sponsoring violence in key polling units in order to trigger this clause, a major controversial point is the ambiguity in actual potential vote - viz actual voter turnout vs number of registered voters at the polling unit.

I reiterate, cancellations of polls by INEC since 2015 is premeditated and preempts the outcome if not favourable.
