Edo Tribunal: Recounted Ballot Papers Show Discrepancies With Inec’s Figure by engineerboat(m): 6:23pm On Feb 15, 2017 |
The result of the recounting of ballot papers used for the conduct of the September 28 Edo State governorship election in three local government areas has shown discrepancy in the total number of figures announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and that recorded during the recounting exercise. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, are challenging the declaration by INEC of Godwin Obaseki of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the election and have listed INEC, Obaseki and the APC as first, second and third respondents respectively. In its ruling on February 9, 2017, and subsequent orders, the three-man tribunal headed by Justice Ahmed Badamasi granted the prayers of the PDP and Ize-Iyamu by ordering the recount of ballot papers used for the conduct of the election in Egor, Akoko-Edo, Etsako West and Etsako East local government areas. The recounting exercise, which was held between February 9th and 10th, was, however not concluded before the expiration of the period given to the petitioners to prove their cases, but afforded the petitioners enough time to conclude the recounting exercise in some wards in Egor, Akoko-Edo and Etsako West local government areas. In the report that was signed by the assistant secretary to the tribunal, Buhari Sani, for the secrtary and given to parties in the case, the recounting exercise was concluded in Wards 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in Etsako West Local Government Area, Wards 1 and 2 in Akoko-Edo Local Government Area and Ward 1 of Egor Local Government Area. According to the report, for Etsako West, where the ballot papers of only of wards were recounted, the total made available to the tribunal was 8, 432 whereas on INEC form EC8A, the commission gave a total figure of 17, 138 In Ward 1 of Akoko-Edo Local Government Area, recounts revealed that more ballot papers were used than the figures recorded on the Form EC8A as recounts showed that 3,206 ballot papers were used as opposed to 3,167 recorded by INEC. In Ward 2 of the local government, recounts showed that 3,849 ballot papers were used, while 4,161 was recorded on the Form EC8A by the INEC. In Ward 1 of Egor Local Government Area, recounts indicated that 3,217 ballot papers were used in the eight units of the ward, while 2,770 ballot papers were recorded as used on the Form EC8A. For Etsako West the difference between the recount and the INEC total for the wards affected by the recounting was 8,706, while the difference was 273 for Akoko-Edo and 447 for Egor. Of particular interest to the tribunal maybe the recounting of the ballot papers used in polling unit one of Ward one in Etsako West where the recounted ballot revealed zero but INEC had recorded 462 on its result sheets. The same story it was in polling unit 3 of Ward two where the recount was zero and INEC scored 315 on its result sheets while in polling units one and two of Ward five the recounts were 360 and 304, but INEC wrote ‘cancelled’, on its result sheets. The recounted original ballot papers which are originally for the four local government areas namely Egor, Akoko-edo, Etsako west and Etsako east were produced by the subpoenaed witness from INEC. Tribunal sources confirmed that there were three counting points for the exercise and featured one local government each and in the order of Etsako West, Akoko-Edo and Egor, leaving Etsako East untouched. It will be recalled that all the counting points could not be concluded recounting before the tribunal ordered its stoppage on account of the fact that the period allowed for the petitioners to prove their case has expired. The tribunal resumes sitting on Thursday with INEC opening its defence of how it conducted the election. http://tribuneonlineng.com/edo-tribunal-recounted-ballot-papers-show-discrepancies-inecs-figure/ |

![]() ![]() We have said it countless number of times that Obaseki is just a mere tenant in Government house, he will soon be sent packing. The rigging Oshiomole and INEC used was full of flaws and exposed their lack of understanding of Nigeria's electoral system. My fellow Edo people should prepare for a new Governorship election by end of this Year Zombies can quote me anywhere. 7 Likes |

Of course there will be error it is expected.. Apart from the one with over 10,000 difference the others are very ok.. The difference in total votes error must be greater than the difference in the scores of the candidates before it can even be looked at.. 1 Like |

This was the same thing Amaechi wanted to do in rivers state but unfortunately for him, at the count of 52 polling boots, Apc had won only 2 polling unit with a very narrow margin. He rooted out an unimaginable result to give his candidate a seat in house of assembly. but now, he is shitting in his pants cos he goofed big time. Edo state, e don be for una. 1 Like |
