dizon: True for the invalidity of APC votes. But the electoral law says the winner must have a simple majority as well as have a 25% of total votes cast in 2/3rds of the LGA. The problem is that APC's invalid votes count in the total votes cast. This is what INEC will analyze in their meeting. Zamfara has 13 LGAs and 2/3rds is 9 LGAs. So PDP must have wont 25% of the total votes cast in 9 LGAs to qualify as a win, else a rerun must be done. For example for an LG APC 100k PDP 20k Other parties 5k Invalid 1k Total votes cast 126k With the judgement PDP 20k Other parties 5k Invalid 101k Total votes cast 126k Now the PDP must win 25% so 20/126=15.87% At 15%, PDP didn't win. If up to 5 LGA has result like this, a rerun will be held without APC. The problem if PDP doesn't scale through, there will be no governor on May 29th which is 4 days away. There is no Governor, no deputy, no speaker which are the line of succession. INEC cannot conduct a rerun in time and there cant be a vacuum in that office, the result is a Lacuna. 2 Likes |

adanny01:Leave them alone let them be mastturbating all over the place. The SC only called them wasted votes because they were cast for the APC. Unfortunately for the PDP those "wasted" votes which were validly cast cannot be wished away by the PDP. They must be used in calculating that spread. 2 Likes |

rafindo: The Supreme Court is not compounding any debate. Ab initio, INEC refused to recognize Zamfara State APC candidates, which they communicated in writing. APC went and procurred a kangaroo high court order compelling INEC to list them. Although another high court gave a contradicting order, INEC choose to obey the one in favour of APC. After election, Appeal court voided their candidatures which had now been endorsed by Supreme Court. The blame should be laid squarely on the door post of APC who knew the position of the electoral law and chose to disregard it. This end was predictable right from the beginning. 2 Likes 1 Share |

dizon: i thought we will never have to do these again until another 4yrs, obviously the pdp sympathisers yet to learn a thing, first of all! the court never mention or declare pdp as winner, the judgement only compelled inec to declare 2nd runner up as winner provided the party meet the requisite. the fact that some vote are rejected or voided does not affect total vote ,check inec spreadsheet of all elections total vote will alway be the sum of valid votes + rejected vote racoon said you are intelligient i laugh ... that's an expensive joke on NL. inec will judge pdp on basis of total vote, can someone tell me whatelse i don't know

Based on the ruling , All APC vote cast are invalid, void and non existent ab initio. For governoship, It suffice to say that the total valid votes is now 810,782-534,541= 276, 241. Therefore, the winner must meet the following; 1. The majority votes. 2. The contest having scored upto 25% in 2/3 no of local govts . This could be verified by subtracting the void votes of the APC from each of the local govt council (for governoship) Meanwhile, for all other positions like Senatorial seat, House of Reps and state house of Assembly shall be for the candidate having the highest votes. 1 Like 1 Share |

tesppidd: From your logic you are still saying APC should participate in the election. APC are marouders in the election. There name was not expected to be there. So any vote cases for them are wasted votes. Supreme court ruling stands. Party with second highest votes and spreads bearing in mind there are other parties which could as well takes some spread as well 2 Likes 1 Share |

tesppidd:Always know that, there is difference between moral thinking and law. As far as the Zamfara case is concerned, all votes allocated to APC does not count in anyway either as valid or invalid, it's wasted voted; null! So count the remaining parties valid votes and consider the invalid too. 1 Like 1 Share |
