What Happens If A Presidential Candidate Dies before election? by Kurutinto(m): 8:14pm On Aug 10, 2022
So guys, I have been wondering, what will happen if a presidential candidate of a party dies before an election. For example, if tilumbu kicks the bucket now, will shittima be used to replace him or will his party conduct another primaries - inorder to submit the winner's name to inec.

Shettima automatically takes over and that's why it is dangerous for Nigeria. Having a Boko Haram patron as president is as bad as having a Taliban regime in Nigeria.

I think the runner up in the primaries becomes the replacement. I stand corrected.
But I am very certain he won't be replaced by his running mate.

The aspirant that came second during the primaries will take over the party ticket.

Every body can be Yoruba in talks but in your attitude and willingness to protect yoruba against invasion, are you truly Yoruba, if you are giving power to the same set of people that said pastor kumuyi cannot hold crusade in their land because he is Yoruba, the same set of people that vilified Awolowo, Osinbajo, Akinwunmi Adeshina, call Lagos no man's land, destroyed Lagos properties during endsars because Kanu nnamudi commanded them to do so, you better be wise before unknown gunmen and the same agitation that is ravaging Igbo land take it place in the South West.

That's not true.

I think it happened in Kogi State in 2015 when Abubukar Audu died few hours to his declaration as the winner of the election and the senate had to amend the law. James Faleke didn't take over but Bello did.

The run-up in the primary election takes over from the deceased contestant. In this case, if Bola Tinubu kicks the bucket (God forbid), Chibuike Amaechi will take over. However, if that happens when they have been sworn in as President and Vice President, then Shettima will replace him.

Shut up and carry your bigoted flat head out of here, why didn't you mention Obi? Very despicable beings roaming sub Saharan Africa. I would like to see your fate after the elections when your Obi has gone to obscurity and you have started your "Biafra or Death chant."

A poor soul that lacks balanced diet wishing death on someone that can buy his lineage and keep them as pets.
