Preator: See the break down. *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. 3 Likes |

kahal29: If we are to look at this from another perspective, if it is agreed that the votes Apc got are (wasted and invalid), let's term both to mean invalid which is a more familiar language in the electioneering process. When it is summed with the former invalid votes in the election, it makes the whole election inconclusive as the total will be more than the margin between PDP and the runner up. Just thinkingfrom another angle. 1 Like |

ihatesycophant: Walahi, the comments on this thread shows how the Nigerian educational system has failed. Those APC votes are votes of Nigerians which is their right. No court can take it from them. Those votes were taken away from APC and placed in an invalid box but they count among the total votes cast. These guys cannot use common sense. When INEC comes with the official position, they will start shouting INEC is biased. Me i tire for the educated illiterates on Nairaland. 5 Likes |

Udantu: What happens to the citizens' right to vote? INEC should not have included APC candidates on the ballot papers in the first place. However, court asked them to and now those citizens that voted APC can still go to court to fight for their right. Their votes can only be void or rejected and must be included in the final votes cast. In this case, there are more voided votes than valid.. Supreme court should have called for new election without APC. When the president is inaugurated on 29th, he may approach NASS to approve an administrator for Zamfara State. The question is what happens between May 29 and this period if INEC should take a position that is not immediately giving pdp candidate certificate of returned. The CJ of the state may take over. 1 Like |

The courts did not exclude the APC from the ballot. If they did then anyone who went ahead to cast a vote for the APC are on their own and as such, such vote could be illegal, null and void. But as long as the courts allowed APC to participate in that first ballot be ordering INEC to include their party APC, No Supreme Court anywhere in the world can disenfranchise those 580,000 Zamfara indigenes who cast their votes for APC. They must all determine that 3/4 spread. 2 Likes |

dizon: There's a difference between invalid votes and wasted votes. The court didn't say invalid votes The court cannot determine or invalidate the mandate of majority of people in Zamfara. Since APC has the overwhelming majority votes in the election, if victory is given to PDP, wherein lies the mandate if the people? Why will PDP get the mandate to govern Zamfara? |

Sufisunni: Pdp did not win any local government in Zamfara. Whether APc's votes are void or not , that does not change the number of voters in Zamfara nor does it change the number of accredited voters The law say you must have 25% in each LGA. The law didn't say 25% of valid votes. 1 Like |

Is it because of political party that people did not reason deeply again? All this politicians did not care about we citizen. The true of the matter is that merely looking at it, Zamfara guber election will be inconclusive, they will have rerun without APC name on the ballot paper. |

bkool7:Maybe you will be able to comprehend it now. PDP didn't win any local government, it means you are still counting APC's wasted votes, which is neither valid nor invalid. Remove APC 580K votes and redo the calculation. APC votes is nonexistent! |

Zamfara SC judgement Stop counting APC vote because its null and void. The votes you should be counting now is PDP votes and that of other parties. Now the question is, did PDP score 25 percent across the 14 LG ? Me: PDP scored over 70 percent of votes across the 14 LG putting into consideration PDP and other party only now that APC vote is irrelevant. L. K.Abokede |

engineerboat:Wasted vote can be translated as invalid vote. In calculating the number of vote cast, it's valid vote + invalid vote. There's a portion like that in the INEC's record sheet. A vote cast cannot be said wasted but invalid. Using sentiment to bring out valid deduction make some of you look illiterate. |

Who will now come out to vote for say he voted for APC the initial cancelled unit where 17 thousand plus, if that is where re-run will take place, then its just a waste of time conducting such re-run |

They're even terming votes for APC as wasted and non-existence. Meaning, those citizens of Zamfara state that voted for APC have no right to vote in the first place by their analogy.
