ONE
Section 133 (3) of Electoral Act mandates that election petition tribunals shall be constituted not later than 14 days before an election is held.
This was done in line with the law by the former CoA President

Section 258 (6) of the Constitution reads "An Election Tribunal shall deliver its judgment in writing within 180 days from the date of the filing of the petition". Any judgment of an Election Petition Tribunal delivered outside 180 days of filing of the petition will be null and void.

When did they file this petition?


TWO
This issue, I think, is outside the jurisdiction of the Election Petitions Tribunal.

It should have gone to a Regular Court.

Ex:
The cases of APP v Nwosu, Akpoti v INEC

??

Please sir for the last time,don't bring up uche nwosu case again.. Aside that,you are analysing from a wrong angle or standpoint.your analysis has been overtaken by new events.we should be looking forward and asking if apc will participate in the new polls or not and if apc does not participate,will the participating parties be allowed to do fresh primaries and substitution in the event that the supreme court upholds this ruling?

But regarding your analysis,various supreme court rulings recently has made almost all pre election matters to be under the jurisdiction of election tribunals.mind you there are precedents..
Secondly,the declaration of pdp as winner front dated all petitions filed prior to that judgment.automatically,that petition will be calculates as being filed within 21 days after the certificate of return was issued.arguing otherwise will be saying that pdp petition that was filed when Lyon was declared winner is still alive

bigpicture001:
When did tribuna start being bigger than the Supreme Court...

APC knows they have lost Edo and are hell bent on a south south state because of the presidential election

I and you know that Apc wọn the election with wide margin but was disqualified because of error in certificate..

And you think if they rerun it Lyon won't change vice and still reclaim it again

They will this time, this is APC government, 2023 loading....

phransix2:

kelvinginzie:

Nigeria judiciary is such wack. the law says 180 days here you are giving verdict in 230 days. I pray upper court will quash the ruling.

The 180 days started counting from 14 feb

Omo, na all party back to square one. I smell arrangeee sha, make we see wetin appeal court go talk but this APC government and 2023 loading......

Topmaike007:

I see no reason why APC will not participate in the fresh election if Parties are allowed to conduct fresh primaries.

Ayed44:
There would be no room for fresh primaries nor substitution of candidates. These same candidates that participated in the previous election would participate in the fresh election. APC has no candidate.

says who, is it what the tribunal said?

David lyon is the Peoples choice and nothing more..

I dey tell you

seunmsg:
This is a welcome development. Hopefully, the good people of Bayelsa will have another opportunity to elect a governor of their choice. The supreme court governor that currently rule the state is not the choice of the people. He is an impostor who was never voted for by the people. He should pack his load and go and allow the people to make a fresh choice.

Same as Imo State

kahal29:



Don't go that route ooo cos several road block dey for that route

We need to be sure that apc can contest.did the supreme court ruling affect apc primaries? Is it a fresh elections or just a rescheduled elections? We need to hear clearly from inec.are parties allowed to re do their primaries? Is the fresh elections akin to a bye election?

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Same as Imo State

Same as Zamfara.

Topmaike007:

is it possible to change deputy during rerun?

autonomous22:


Which stolen mandate... After military and police rigged in his favour...

Just keep kwayet if u have notin to say

I can see that you're the one that was sent there to rig the election, don't worry same will befall Obaseki

kahal29:


Unlawful exclusion is a post election matter

How can unlawful expulsion be a post-election matter when elections haven't even taken place?

I don't agree with you.

joyandfaith:

depending on what the judge says

Ayed44:

.tell me more

Topmaike007:
depending on what the judge says

what does law say?
I am just curious

Cyberterror:
David Lyon will surely reclaim his stolen mandate. Ahead ahead.

After the Supreme Court verdict.... Justice Mary Odili is always there to read the judgment in favor of PDP...

fergie001:

I don't agree with you.

That means issue of qualifications is not a post election issue considering that it usually happens after qualification issues arises

I have read with utmost regret that some of us still doesn't understand politics and the judiciary processes. The tribunal sitting in Bayelsa gave verdict on 3 petitions before them on Saturday and that doesn't mean that's the only petition on their table, they have many so they take it one after the other. The supreme Court judgement was a pre-election case and can't stop the tribunal from sitting. Gov. Diri still remains the Governor until he exhaust all judicial alternative at his disposal

This is serious

The court is now ruling on the accord party petition

If ANDP is to participate in the fresh election it means they would conduct primaries to be able to field a candidate and this is a process of its own.

So if they are allowed to conduct primaries it simply follows that every other party will conduct fresh primaries.

kings59:
I know that trick. APC using draw no bet. Incase the election didn't favour them, then the other party excluded will lay complaint which will definitely be granted, leading to the cancellation of the election.


I know this trick.....


Politic is a dangerous game. Even the court/tribunal has been bastardized.

nice analogy

Make you kill goat nah so that e go reach us beg.hahahahaha

I will agree with you tentatively.again anytime the court or electoral act uses 90 days for elections to be conducted,it means total or fresh elections.if it is 30 days,it means a recintinuatiin or a supplementary polls.we can safely say that APC will participate

kahal29:


My Oga you know say I get respect for you irrespective of our divide. Don't you think you are allowing sentiments to get a better part you?

The judgment said FRESH ELECTION not RE-RERUN.


Going by your argument how would ANDP now be in the ballot? Recall they were not in the initial ballot?

This is one solid argument, thanks for posting.

On that basis, SANS have their work cut out for them, should the INEC attempt to bar the APC from a fresh election.

I don't agree with you.

How can you also legally prove your case of unlawful exclusion when elections have not taken place? It is only when the election holds and you are not part of it that you have a ground to appeal.

Unlawful exclusion of any form including party logo can be challenged only after elections.
