The 3.29% Turnout At The Aba North/south Bye-election Is Worrisome by BluntCrazeMan: 7:02am On Mar 29, 2021 |
In the Just-concluded Aba North and Aba South Federal Constituency Bye-election, out of the registered 496,628 number of voters in the Constituency, only 16,335 were accredited, constituting only 3.29% turnout of the whole number of registered voters in the Constituency. With this, it just means that, even if the voters turnout is just 0.003% (or something like 35 people out of 759,456 registered voters), INEC will still declare their results like that. It is really worrisome. What was the reason for the Low Voters Turnout? Was it Voter-apathy? Or were they Boycotting as usual? (This is a very bitter message to Boycotters. No matter the boycotting, even if One Single Person Came out to vote, his vote will count, and whoever he voted for would win). 21 Likes 3 Shares

Honestly, there are lots of messages to take home here. It is now very clear that there is no Minimum Voter's Turnout, Below Which INEC would Declare the Election Inconclusive.. .. .. Meanwhile... The Imo State Judgement still baffles me till today. .. The Constitution gave INEC (and only INEC alone) the powers to count votes. Even if they counted nonsense, the best thing that the courts would have done is to request for a re-count of the ballots, or at worst, cancel the whole election and order for a fresh election. I just can't fathom the reason why INEC didn't take that Imo State case serious, on the grounds that: “Supreme Court Did Their Job For Them, and went ahead to count votes”. 27 Likes 1 Share |

MyVILLAGEpeople:Have you ever asked yourself why rigging works in Nigeria?? It's because there are plenty of unused ballot papers (which the riggers at the Polling-units would use for their multiple thumb-printing). And also, there are low voters turnouts (which the dubious Collation officers would easily convert to whichever value they want). Had it been that the Voters Turnouts are huge, there won't be any room for rigging. 59 Likes 5 Shares |

We are the problem of ourselves. We have power to change things in our hands but we will not do it just because of some bad thoughts. However I congratulate the winner and I also commend the people of Abia for standing against oppressor and family company which kalu is trying to turn APC to in Abia state. Very greed man. Same way okorocha failed to imposes his brother in law on us in imo state. 7 Likes 1 Share |
