It was not successful. Kudos to those that came out to vote, they understand the implications of a successful boycott. 3 Likes 1 Share |

For me, the boycott was very successful. If two thirds of an electorate voluntrarily decide not to participate in an electoral process, that election has been boycotted. With over 2 million people registered to vote in Anambra, if 300,000 voted, that represents a turnout of less than 15% So what happend to the other 85%? The boycott was a huge success 9 Likes 1 Share |

shukuokukobambi: We are talking about yesterday you are talking about 4 years ago. If the system was inspiring anyone, people would have trooped out in their numbers to show their love and belief for the democratic and political system of Nigeria. That did not happen, 85% stayed home enjoying Ofe Nsala. This is a clear faliure of Nigeria. 1 Like |

gidgiddy: You're being deliberately stupid. The simple point others have made which you keep ignoring in your ramblings is that elections have always witnessed low turnout. Whether a bunch of IPOB miscreants declared a boycott or not for their mindless sheep to follow, the turnout will still be low. From all indications, roughly the same number of voters are expected in the final tally as in 2013 elections and APGA will actually get far more than 180,000 votes they got in 2013. For anyone using his brains, this already means the much-hyped boycott was an abysmal failure. Even if only 10,000 people voted, the boycott would have still been a failure after the "no referendum, no election" and even the "vote and die"rubbish. But there will be over 400,000 votes which is the same trend as 2013. That is a resounding failure. Use your damn, god-given brains. 17 Likes 1 Share |

Obi1kenobi: Your analysis is flawed. There were 1.7M voters in Anambra in 2013, there are 2.1M now. Voters turnout in 2013 was about 450k, let's wait for the total figures for this year before we can then compare percentage turnout in both elections and then draw inferences. Empirical evidence suggests the ill thought out boycott had a big impact. 2 Likes |
Re: Was The Anambra Election Boycott Successful? by Obi1kenobi(m): 12:23pm On Nov 19, 2017 |
nwabobo: Actually, 425,000 valid votes were cast in 2013. With 17 local governments tallied currently (with big LG's like my Idemili North and Nnewi South among those to be declared), the current tally of votes is around 340,000. I expect a little above 400,000 at the end of the day. The boycott had insignificant impact. There was nothing big about it. Let's not deceive ourselves, when these IPOB cretins were dreaming about an election boycott success for several months, in their minds they were dreaming of a total shut down of the process. And having more registered voters simply means that many extra people, for identification and documentation purposes, registered. It doesn't mean they were serious voters. Basically, most (not all) of the clowns shouting "no election" were never serious voters and have probably never voted. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Obi1kenobi: I laugh at Nigerians like you who celebrate mediocrity, what else can people in a failed nation do? To make matters worse, you people even dredge up old election results to butress the fact that people have lost confindence in the system. Where are the huge numbers that you people predicted would come out to vote? Where is the celebration of democracy? The election boycott was successful because the vast majority did not come out to vote. Democracy is all about numbers and a democracy where a paltry 15% are coming out to vote is a hopeless faliure. The masses have spoken and passed a vote of no confidence on Nigeria 3 Likes 1 Share |

nwabobo:Anambra always have low turnout, Obiano votes alone is expected to surpass 200,000, far more than that of 2013, back when Ipob and Nnamdi Kanu was not even known. And there was no Biafra agitation or boycott in 2013, but turnout was still low. Ipob election boycott was a massive failure. Here is election results from just 17 local government, it's remaining 4 6 Likes

gidgiddy: Empty chest beating cowardly clown and shameless liar ![]() Is the bold your new defense? What would have been responsible for record breaking turnout? Did ojukwu just resurrect from his grave? ![]() 17 local govts already produced 324k votes for the 3 main parties when the entire 21 LGAs produced 373k votes for the big 3 in last election even without the albino hunchback and his idiocy ![]() In fact I wager that the 3 main parties will surpass their 2013 figures this time around in spite of all the mumu juju you planted at the polling booths.
