denko:
THE ELECTORAL ACT IMPLIES THAT YOU MUST GO TO ELECTION WITH A CANDIDATE AND A RUNNING MATE, GOING A HEAD IT WILL MAKE THE ELECTION NULL AND VOID FOR THE PARTY THEN THE PARTY THAT CAME SECOND WILL BE DECLARE WINNER

In the same vain. the Supreme court which overrules any other matter, has said the mandate belongs to party, not candidate.

Duru1:
Which mandate in an election declared inconclusive?

The election will be concluded. Status quo will be maintained. use your brain.

denko:
YOU CANNOT CONTINUE ELECTION WITH A DEAD CANDIDATE, THE DEPUTY CANNOT STAND FOR ELECTION BECAUSE HE NEVER CONTEST PRIMARIES

Your argument is flawed. They share a joint-ticket, so, technically, they are one and the same. Why then is a vice-president or deputy governor allowed to assume an office, should the President or Governor dies?

Phame:
no winner right now.

That is besides the point. Audu and Falake share a joint-ticket, so, technically, Audu is still alive as long as Falake is alive. Status quo will be maintained by Inec. The inconclusive election shall be concluded.

Mandate belongs to the party, not a candidate. The supreme court has ruled on this matter. Therefore, the deputy automatically has the mandate.

(1) Declare Abubakar Audu as the winner of the elections and the Deputy Governor is subsequently sworn in.
The first option available to INEC is to conclude the elections at a later date with Abubakar Audu as the Candidate of the APC and if as I expect, he wins the
election, INEC will then declare him the winner and his Deputy Governor will be
subsequently sworn in as Governor to comply with the Constitution.
This view is supported by the judicial attitude that leans towards party consideration rather than the individual candidate. The courts have ruled several times that it is the party that is voted for,
and not the candidate



The above option seem more realistic, given the emboldened.

Since the constitution didn't envisage this situation, then i think whatever decision is taken by INEC, can be challenged at the courts. This case could go up to the supreme court.

People's opinion i have been reading online are just what they wish to happen. no one can confidently say anything authoritatively.

firstEVA:
This news is fake pls.

It's true. I have confirmed it from the house of Rep member who represents my constituency. They were called and informed about it by the family of Audu.

Just saw it on twitter. Hope and pray its not true

meforyou1:
not only 1 local govt o. About 19. More noticeable in Dekina local govt where about 17,000 registered voters couldn't vote

Hear hear. But, you and i know that Wada can't possibly win this anymore. This is just a delayed victory, in my opinion. Though, yes, the electoral laws need to be satisfied.

maupe:
The elections have been declared inconclusive. Tomorrow the elections will be cancelled outrightly tomorrow.

One can always dream, even when it's unrealistic. Only one LGA was affected, so inec will simply run a by-election in that LGA, and Audu will still win.

TimeManager:
A Delayed Victory For Audu. However, This Confirms APC Is Not About A Do Or Die Affair Unlike The PDP.INEC Is Really Independent To Have Announced This Without Pressure From The Powers That Be. Those Areas Are APC's Stronghold,they Have It Locked Down. The Bye election Would Be A Walk Over For APC
No Lie Only Truth!

I understand the cancelled votes are from Dekina LGA, and Wada is from that LGA. So it can't be said to be a stronghold of APC. But, considering that there are 49,000 possible votes, and taken also into consideration that 100% turnout isn't possible, I don't see how Wada can stage a comeback. By the way, PDP can't possibly get all the votes.

Acidosis:
I watched LIVE report on AIT. Election Inconclusive





49,000 Electorates Disenfranchised, especially in Dekina LGA (largest in Kogi state, and in fact in Nigeria). Worthy of note is that Wada is from Dekina.


Presently, Audu is ahead with about 41,000 votes.

There is no way that APC will not garner up to at least 10,000 votes from there. Given that it's only one LGA, it will be easier to checkmate rigging.

baralatie:
Is It true the election is inconclusive

Yes, 49,000 voided votes, which is more than the difference between the two candidates

They made the right call, given that there are more voided votes than the difference between the two candidates

naijapips02:
Upon all the Hunderds of Millions of Dollars spent on the MNJTF, they still cannot buy ordinary guns.

That question should be directed at Jonathan and Dasuki, not Buhari.

Philistine:
Okene L.G APC- 14786 PDP- 15968 LP- 1437

Interesting result here. This means Karaku did a marvellous job for the PDP.

I knew Wada couldn't win any Ebira LGA. So far, Audu has won Okehi and Adavi

IamMissMarvel:
So he made the driver's son a senator?

Please, read, read, read.

This is by far the most peaceful election we have had in Kogi state in a long time.

Joavid:
Yes, cos we tired of PDP. But Audu is not the way.

I rather die than vote for an Igala man again!

Yes. I rather DIE!!

I don't support any of the candidates in this election. I was just trying to correct the falsehood by the poster.

Cool

That is an extreme case of racial profiling.

tbarrister:
lol , people are posting results from the last presidential election, apc's audu can never win in ebiraland. mind u I'm a strong apc man but for this election, I'm proudly pdp

I'm in Okene right now, and I can categorically tell you that you are very disconnected from reality. From the results so far, Audu has won in all Ebira LGAs.

May his soul rest in perfect peace. From God we came, and back to him, we must return. God knows best.
