The man has not even been confirmed dead and you thinking of who would occupy his yet to be awarded sit? This is the kind of thing that makes people's spirit turn back from the road to heaven and start hunting their enemies. Haba!!! |

This election will be cancelled. A dead man can't go into supplementary election. The constitution is very clear in this case. The election will be suspended till the party choose another candidate, who will go into a fresh election. Edited. Those who are happy over this guy's death shouldn't rejoice yet. He was still a candidate before his death. The running mate is still a candidate. The law is very clear on the death of a candidate for an election. A fresh primaries to replace him by the party will be conducted. The election will be suspended for the primary election. A fresh candidate will be presented, who will go for fresh election. |

princejayboss:He might want to use the political stress to suppress his blood pressure. For example exercise increase blood pressure and same exercise can be use to manage blood pressure. That was why I concluded that the HBP was not well managed. It's just my #Hypothesis. He might die of another clinical condition. 1 Like |

@OP you have to understand that political parties present candidates for elections. In the case of Governorship election, their is a joint ticket(Gov and Dep Gov candidates). The law provides that in the event that the Gov candidaÞe cannot be sworn-in (whether death, resignation, stroke etc), the running mate assumes the post of Governor. See Boni Haruna Vs INEC (1998) Also the constitution provides that the running mate be sworn in in the event of the death of Governor-elect. James Faleke is the incoming Kogi state Governor! 3 Likes |

001ng:are you sure about this? |
Re: If A Governorship Aspirant Dies Before Election Result Is Declare . by 001ng: 7:40pm On Nov 22, 2015 |
Phame:Yes. He has not won already. It's inconclusive. A dead man can't go into an election. Go and check your electoral act . If a candidate dies after the deadline for submission of the candidate for an election, they election will be suspended till the party provides a replacement. |

001ng:Your argument is flaw. Section 136 (1) "If a person duly elected as President dies before taking and subscribing the Oath of Allegiance and oath of office, or is for any reason whatsoever unable to be sworn in, the person elected with him as Vice-President shall be sworn in as President and he shall nominate a new Vice-President who shall be appointed by the President with the approval by a simple majority of the National Assembly at a joint sitting" Same is applicable to the office of Governor. May the soul of the departed rest in peace. |

The whole of the middle belt's driven by the politics of religion... cos The Middle belt's evenly divided between christians and muslims! So there's a power tussle.

koma1:You guys are missing up something. The electoral act says something about the death of a candidate standing for election. It states that the election will be suspended , the party involved will conduct fresh primaries to choose another candidate. Now, a new candidate can't start from where audu stopped. There will be a total fresh election in kogi state. 3 Likes |

001ng:The election has been conducted just that is inconclusive, his name & that of his deputy is already with INEC, in this scenario the deputy will be elevate & a new name will be forward to INEC as deputy, your argument is valid prior to the election & not now that more than 80% of the election is conducted. 1 Like |
