VP candidate is nominated by the presidential candidate of the party who was elected at a convention.

The VP was not elected at any convention, he was nominated and as such can be substituted by the presidential candidate not later than 4 weeks after.

The presidential candidate can so substitute the VP with or without his permission or written note. The VP hasn't been elected with him in a joint ticket so he can substitute him before July 14th.

I hope PDP understand better now.

eldoradoxx:
There is no problem to face. The law allows substitution. Infact Presidential candidate can withdraw and be replaced with another person, he only needs to write to his party that he is no longer interested in running and he is replaced by the party with another person, the party does not even need to do primary election to substitute, how easy it is.

No, you will conduct another primary.

pps1759:
Had it been is only Labour party that is involved in these place holder now.The propaganda will be from Tinubu

Even if it's only Obi, any propaganda that doesn't have basis in electoral act is noise.

We Tinubu supporters are not illiterates. We look at the position of the Law and other extant rules before we comment. Substitution is in the Electoral Act and no one would criticize Obi or anyone for that.

Very interesting article

shedy03:
U people of obi camp dey underestimate Kwankwaso. Hausa man wey dey like power u wan to make Ur VP, on which party?
I dey wait to see.

Most of them can't differentiate between online/social media supporters apathy/delusion and the reality..Kwankwaso wut step down to be Obi's vp..Maybe otherwise.

AnambraPrince:
Doyin Okupe is working for Atiku. He will refuse to withdraw, then Obi will contest with Southerner/Southerner Christian-Christian ticket. He has been successfully eliminated by Atiku even before the game started. What a dumba$$ political baby . The heartbreak that is loading for Peter Obi zombies ehh, una mind go dey

which type of weed you smoke brother me why are you rooting for evil men why can't we get it right who did we offend why are you support two old men who has looted this country dry

Obi Peter all the ways

babyfaceafrica:
You think they don't know this abi. Both place holders would have already signed a letter indicating their withdrawal even before their names are submitted

They have to submit the letter themselves. There is the issue.

indodon:
We all can't wait for NNPP LP merger

I don't think there can be a merger. Section 81 of the new electoral act says all merger should be done 9 months before an election.

I can tolerate Obi dealing with indecision about VP to pick considering everything happened for him in quick pace.

I cannot tolerate Tinubu not having a pick. He has had ambition to be President in APC since 2015. He knew this time must come when he would pick a VP. Why is he pussy-footing around? Moreover, he selected a muslim for place holder, why not a christian? It says the direction he will go eventually. For him, the place holder is a smoke screen to pacify and drain off the anti muslim/muslim public noise.

Primaries are not conducted to elect VP candidates, they are only nominated once they satisfy the provisions of the law. So I think the VP candidate can so withdraw and be replaced easily with another nominee provided it is within the allowed timeframe.

Oga you sounded reasonable that's why I mentioned you. I read it and I shared it on the forum. Correct me don't rubbish my opinion. Everybody in this nairaland carry vex for heart. Every small thing na fight. Someone can't have simple discussion.

Relax....


Kwankwaso will collapse his structure for Peter Obi...
We are obediently waiting for him... But if he continue his block headache will serve no choice bringing Alhaji Sanusi (formal CBN) as running mate for Peter Obi

Thanks for the clarity. The word is to collapse the structure and not merge parties.
