Why didnt you declare presidential election inconclusive?

nameo:


That is assuming a 100% voters turnout happens in the rerun.

However, turnout cannot be more than 50% and if all those people voted for APC (which is impossible), Ortom would still win.

Ortom was a useless Gov tho

Ojiofor:
Every Northern states PDP was leading is declared inconclusive?
Mr Integrity is a huge fraud.
How on earth can APC overturn 81,554 vote margin from mere 121k cancelled votes even if there is 100% turnout on rerun day?
The desperation of this Janjaweeed party is nauseating and despicable.

This is a hard song to the INEC staff members mostly consisted of people who completed diploma program in Arabic studies.

Petersamuel8:
It's impossible for apc to beat PDP in the rerun

OYAY:

I don't understand why some of you can't comprehend simple rule of election which Says if the margin of lead is less than cancelled votes it should be declared inconclusive because the cancelled votes can still swing the election outcome!!! In plateau state Lalong of APC is leading with about 43,000 votes while the cancelled votes is just 49,000 and INEC still declared it inconclusive, we should be objective at all times not when it is convenient or the issue is to our advantage.

Rexology:

It is also important to note that the 121k represents the total no of registered voters in the affected areas. Out of the 121k registered voters in that affected areas, what is the % of PVC collection put it side by side with the possible % of voters turnout then subtract it from the 81k margin of victory. The INEC ROs that declared Benue and Plaetue state governorship election inconclusive only created irrelevant and unnecessary extra costs of rerun.

The Independent National Electoral Commission has explained why it declared the Saturday’s governorship election in Benue State inconclusive.

Announcing the decision on Monday, the Returning Officer, Prof Sebastian Maimako, announced that the number of canceled votes outweighed the number of victory margin.

[url]WWW.IDOMAVOICE.COM[/url] reports that, 790,102 votes were valid, 14,560 votes were rejected while 121,019 votes were cancelled.

Samuel Ortom of the Peoples Democratic Party scored 410,576 votes while Emmanuel Jime of the All Progressives Congress scored 329,022 votes.

He said a new date would be announced for a rerun within 21 days.

Queseda:
After going through most comments above, one really begins to wonder how a country has such a huge number of ignorant folks and unemployable graduates. For heaven's sake, should INEC bend the law because PDP candidates are leading in a neck-to-neck contest where the number of cancelled votes is greater than the margin of lead? I've not seen any of you attack INEC for declaring the elections in which an APC candidate is leading as inconclusive, as in the case of Plateau. Funny how these same set of ignorant folks will be shouting rule of law when it suits them but would want INEC to go against the law when it doesn't favour them. You're all victims of the damage PDP did to this country by looting the money for your proper education and enlightenment, I'm sorry for you all
