It means each candidate must have at least 25% win of total vote cast in each state of 36 states including FCT. 3 Likes |

Flyemmyrate: No, that's not what the law says. It says, in addition to having the highest total number of votes, the candidate must also have at least 25% of votes in at least 2/3 (two-third) of the 37 states of the federation (Abuja makes it 37). 7 Likes |

Lionize: That’s not what the constitution said. The FCT is not a STATE. It doesn’t not have any elected Governor but an appointed minister by the President. We shall argue this issue to the last and forcefully resist your attempt to make the FCT a state. It’s a federal province under the control of the federal Government. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Philgafauto: I called it that to enable you understand the interpretation, it actually says 'the 36 states, including FCT' |
Re: 25% Requirement In Abuja by Lionize: 10:16pm On Feb 28, 2023 |
David160:Yes, I know, I just wanted it broken down so it can be understaood. The law does not say if the candidate doesn't get 25% in abuja, then he can't win. now look, 2/3 of 37 is about 24.6, approx 25- So, if the person polls 25% or more in 24 states, and then fct, making it 25, the person has passed. If the person gets at least 25% in 25 states, without FCT, the person has also passed. So, there is no law that makes fct standalone on that 25% requirement, that's why I kukuma included fct as a state because in this case, they are all on the same league. 1 Like |

Alanno:the law says 25% in 2/3 and FCT, meaning FCT stands alone. 3 Likes 1 Share |
Re: 25% Requirement In Abuja by Mikeloo: 10:41pm On Feb 28, 2023 |
Alanno: This is what sub-section 2 of Section 134 of the Constitution says. In this instance, FCT is technically classified as a State so irrespective of whether a candidate has two-thirds or not in FCT, he is deemed duly elected. (2) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being more than two candidates for the election- |

chibrolex:That was why I included fct as a 'pseudo' state. it means you must get at least 25% in at least 2/3 of all the states and fct' (fct here included as a state). It means if you get 25% in fct, then it counts as a state.. . He/she must secure not less than 25% of votes cast in at least two-thirds of all the States of the federation and FCT |

stuffs2002:These kids online, instead of you to engage in an argument reasonably so you can learn, you simply resort to insulting people who are old enough to have you as a child. |
Re: 25% Requirement In Abuja by Mikeloo: 11:33pm On Feb 28, 2023 |
chibrolex: I do no think there will be any rerun of election, Section 299 says that FCT can be classified as a State. That is why you see a Senator & other Federal HoRs members being elected |

Lionize: Na here wahala dey. It's subject to different interpretations. I think it's best to allow the supreme Court interprete it |
Re: 25% Requirement In Abuja by toneroforever(m): 11:48pm On Feb 28, 2023 |
Lionize: Let's allow the supreme court explain it to us. In the end it's their interpretation that counts. |

Alanno:25% spread in 24 states, including Abuja means Abuja is treated as a state on its own for election purposes, even though it isn't. Logically, if a candidate has 25% spread in 23 states and 25% in Abuja, he's okay. Or 25% spread in other 24 states, excluding Abuja, he's also fine. |

toneroforever: You are absolutely right. But for LP supporters, that is not something to rely on so false hope is not built. |
