kcmichael:
see una, umahi will context in new primary and win and win also in senate seat. umahi is the best performing governor in south east , his only sin is that he joined apc
Read, una no go gree.

The court ordered APC to organize the primary to ‘ratify’ the woman’s candidacy.

There would be no new contest.

He will win the rerun
He is not eligible to participate in rerun because he was never part of the primaries in the first place. The time for buying and submitting expressiob of interest forms has passed; he also cannot participate in 2 primaries within one electoral cycle according to the Electoral Act.

He can only be part of the process if Ms Ann withdraws from the race...

Your last sentence, I doubt they did.
They didn't because they were lying.

From the purported letter, Agom-Eze withdrew on 7th June, and Austin Umahi withdrew on 9th June, so Primaries held same day, how come?

1st pix: The reason APC gave for re-conducting the Primary, it wasn't as a result of withdrawal but they cited security breach.

2nd pix: Members of the Electoral Panel (as attached).

3rd pix: Information of date to INEC with Umahi as sole candidate without informing INEC of withdrawals. If it was a re-run as a result of security breach, how did Umahi now emerge as sole candidate, since he didn't participate in the first one?

4th pix: INEC report - states that the Primaries went smoothly across the State.

Lol......... naijaaaa abracadabra.
Why do people even contest for positions they know they'll never win? More than 95percent of contestants in the APC presidential primary stood no chance.

Only Tinubu, Osinbajo and Amaechi were realistic. Even Ahmed lawan stood no chance. They're all collecting wotowoto. Lol.... They would've quietly faced their senatorial ambitions.

Thank you for these documents.

The truth of the matter is that Umahi’s senatorial ambition is sealed.

All Ann Agom-Eze needs to do is to continue to plead that her signatures were formed and she didn’t resign and Umahi’s fate is sealed.

After all, Austin is not contesting his resignation.

The question is:Is he eligible to participate in the rerun?Going by earlier clarification by some lawyers in the house, I doubt Umahi will take part.The question is:Is he eligible to participate in the rerun?Going by earlier clarification by some lawyers in the house, I doubt Umahi will take part....

How will Princess Ann Agom-Eze withdrawal now qualify him(Umahi) since the electoral act prevents him from participating in two primaries in one electoral cycle. You guys just talk from both sides of your mouth without deep analysis

Do you know the meaning of ratify?

sign or give formal consent to (a treaty, contract, or agreement), making it officially valid.

They are authenticating Agom-Eze.... Umahi cannot participate in the re-run (unless the same Agom-Eze surreptitiously withdrew herself).
even if she withdrew herself, umahi is disqualified from the context because he contested the in the presidential primaries of APC. The new electoral law, prohibit candidates from contesting more than one position in each election period. In fact the penalty is 2 years jail time.
