You are stupid and an idiot

crestedaguiyi:
They think they have an opinion on the matter or they want to attempt contempt of the court

tuniski:


PDP met the constitutional requirements as emphasized by the supreme court. The valid votes across the entire offices contested are now over 90% pdp's.

nzeobi:

if you cancel APC votes from the total votes cast, you will see that pdp meet the requirements.

xpool:

Required spread index when APC was not supposed to contest at all.
Their votes are for the second runner up .

adanny01:


My first thought was to insult you but it is not necessary if you find the right path.

How can PDP win 90% when the main elections was not even the case supreme court ruled. All APC votes is null and void so PDP still have what it got.

To win governor you must have a simple majority plus must have won at least 25% of the votes cast in two 3rds of the local governments in the state. Invalid votes count here. If for example total votes cast is 100million and apc won 50million votes, PDP 45 million, other parties 4million and invalid 1million. With the judgement, invalid becomes 51million. So PDP win on one condition, that they won 25% votes of 2/3rd of the local governments. That is if there are 10 LGA, they must have 25% in 8 LGAs. If they dont have 25% in 3 LGAs, they wont be declared winner.

My problem is that there will be a constitutional lacuna by May 29 which is 5 days away. There will be no governor elect and the tenure of the sitting governor will expire in 5 days. The line of succession is Governor, Deputy, and speaker. None of them is available on May 29th unless PDP qualifies. What will happen if PDP doesnt?

nzeobi:
are you meeting because you don't understand what the court said or you are meeting for formality sake.

codedguy1:
Hmmmm did PdP meet the required spread?

If not, what happens? Another election?

Na required spread index wan use do pdp strong thing.

Lamasta:
APC should go and bury there head in shame " A house divided against itself cannot stand"
No wonder bandits are having filled day in Zamfara when those who are suppose to calm and quench the menace are busy fighting themselves.
May the efforts of our enemies on our matter be wasted like APC in Zamfara state Insha Allah
Congratulations to PDP they show Unity in their dealings during the last election.

femolii:
Now you refuse to blame buhari because the judge favour you and our systems are good now.

Lamasta:

Is there primary election in Zamfara Yes or No?

Rexology:

The Election in Zamfara State was between APC and PDP. If you remove APC vote,it means that anything LGA PDP scored only 500 votes,that 500 votes can constitute up to 70% or more of the total vote cast in that LGA.

You cannot classify APC votes as invalid because those votes were NEVER casted in the first place

Udantu:

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will announce its decision on Zamfara elective positions on Monday.

Reacting to the supreme court ruling which sacked all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the general election, Festus Okoye, INEC director of voter education and publicity, said the commission will meet on Saturday after an emergency meeting held Friday afternoon.

The APC had been declared winner of the state governorship election as well as seven house of representatives seats, three senatorial positions and 24 house of assembly seats.

Quality20:
but will pdp b able to hold d state for more than 4yrs? this is not d first time they gonna be holding d state temporarily sha. Zamfara state is a 100 per cent APC state. By 2023 these guys in pdp would have to decamp to APC to be reelected

bluebay:

They trying to boycott the judgement and looking for alternative.

Lot13:
The constitutional requirements of getting one quarter of total votes cast in at least 2/3 lgs of the state is not fulfilled by PDP as stipulated by the apex court ruling.

Let's wait for inec position on this essential part of the rulings.

Buckubuck:

All this ur long grammar. How do you declare something invalid and come back to say it counts? Which village you for com self?

emmasege:
You still didn't get it that APC votes were null and void.

The new results will be based on how many non-APC votes, and it doesn't matter how small it is. Your guess is as good as mine that PDP will score not less than 90% of non-APC votes.

This means Zamfara House of Assembly could be homogenously PDP. In the same vein, PDP will gain three more senators and more members in NASS.

S'oro mi understand e?

APC is extinct in Zamfara, at least for the next 4 years. So, live with that reality.

adanny01:


What you are talking about is disenfranchisement. Those people who voted APC actually voted. That they voted a party that is disqualified makes their vote invalid just like if you vote twice on the same ballot. Those votes still count and cannot count for PDP or any other party. They cannot be deleted either, they have only been declared invalid. The total number of votes cast in the election cannot change.

adanny01:


How old are you?

Have you ever seen an election result?

Are invalid votes counted among total votes cast or not?

Your village people are calling you back home for not knowing anything.

garfield1:

Thank you.you are very intelligent.i have been trying to say this ever since.the 500 votes recorded for apc is valid but no longer for apc.it is now neutral.that is why the supreme court inserted a proviso in its ruling

Buckubuck:

Get information before you contribute on a public forum. The candidates are declared based on total VALID votes not just votes. Go back and watch the video of inec issuing certificate of returns. Nobody considers invalid votes in declaring winners. The invalid votes are to account for total accredited voters statistics to show no mago mago. Understand?
