But the same constitution said voided votes are part of total vote cast.[quote author=Sufisunni post=78710428]No! Wasted votes are non-existence votes. Valid, invalid and voided votes these terms have been in legal parlance for a while and supreme Court judges are well acquainted with it, but explicitly used the term "wasted votes". No one counts wasted votes, this is the interpretation of Apex court judges.
The required spread is a discussion of valid votes, which APC's non-existence votes don't in.
Law doesn't deal with emotions but legality Whether 1 million people are being disenfranchised is non issue in court of law. that Rotimi Amaechi was in USA enjoying himself while Celestine Omeh whom campaiged and people voted for was later on denied by same Apex court based on the fact that people don't vote candidates but party
Furthermore, voided vote is an invalid vote because it's not well thumb printed; the party voted for can't be ascertained, but wasted votes are thumb printed vote.

PDP HOUSE CAUCUS


FELICITATION WITH GOVERNOR-ELECT MUTAWALLE, 3 INCOMING PDP SENATORS AND 7 INCOMING PDP MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Members of the PDP House Caucus heartily felicitate with the entire good people of Zamfara state whose genuine love for democracy and the truth has manifested in the eventual victory of former member of the House of Representatives, Hon Bello Mutawalle as Governor-Elect of Zamfara state.

Your Excellency, Governor-Elect Mutawalle, we join all other Nigerians in praying for peace to prevail in your state where very clueless governance, deliberate tactlessness and insensitivity of the past four years has crudely and so dangerously endangered peace and order.

Indeed it is sad to recall the autocratic tendencies and barefaced electoral manipulations undertaken by the APC during the last elections but we feel consoled by the Nigerian judiciary’s boldness in discharging its responsibilities on the issue of barefaced anti-democratic practices flagrantly perpetrated in Zamfara state.

Yari ‘magic’ was such that all the state’s three senatorial constituencies, 7 House of Representatives seats and the entire 24 state House of Assembly positions were buccaneered into a very total but unscrupulously-contrived APC victory.

Like millions of Nigerians who never expected such manipulations that have short-circuited the people’s will, we anxiously wait to see a bold interpretation of the law and the truth in other electoral petitions that are now before the courts across Nigeria; PDP is sure of winning more seats.

We have no doubt that in places where men of honour sit to adjudicate on such matters that command the attention of all Nigerian citizens, the people and the People’s Democratic Party will most likely remain winners and indeed, we expect more victories for the PDP as other stolen mandates get returned to rightful owners.

As the world’s great religions have always said, truth and the will of the Almighty Creator will eventually prevail – just as we have just seen in Zamfara.
Once again, we congratulate Governor-Elect Mutawalle, newly-elected members of the Zamfara state House of Assembly and the entire state and federal legislators from Zamfara state who are coming to swell our ranks at the National Assembly.

We also congratulate the Presidency for having the courage to accept the unchangeable verdict of God as spoken through the wise people of the judiciary.

- Hon Leo Ogor,
Minority Leader

*IT IS NOT YET UHURU FOR PDP IN ZAMFARA STATE*

IBRAHIM ABDUL, Esq. P.hD. ANALYSED:

ZAMFARA: A NOVEL CONSTITUTIONAL PRECEDENCE
From the Supreme Court judgement today and my analysis of the Zamfara State declared Guber results vis-a-vis the declaration of the Apex Court ''that the runner-up candidate be sworn in if he fulfills the constitutional requirement of getting one quarter of the total votes cast in at least two-third of the local government areas of the state''. The PDP may not benefit from the judgement as being speculated. Here is my analysis.

The PDP did not win any of the 14 Local Government Areas in the last Gubernatorial polls in Zamfara state, APC won all. However, PDP had one-quarter (25%) of the total votes cast in only 6 (Anka, Bukkuyum, Maradum, Buggundu, Kaura Namoda and Maru LGs) while it did not make the 25% requirement in the remaining 8 (Bakura, Gunmi, Zurmi, Birnin Mogaji, Gusau, Shinkafi and Tsafe). Mathematically, two-third of 14 (LGs) is 9. Thus, Zamfara may not have a substantive Governor come May 29, 2019. Even if the Chief Judge assumes the Acting Governor's role, there may still not be any elected members of the House of Assembly to be inaugurated. So the CJ will be a Sole Administrator.
