BREAKING: PEPT judgement: 25% of FCT votes not needed to win Presidential election

 


The presidential election petitions tribunal says the federal capital territory (FCT) is not treated specially in the election as it is not superior to any state.

 

The tribunal said the interpretation of the 25 percent votes cast in the  FCT by the Labour Party (LP) is “fallacious”.

 

“With due respect to counsel to the petitioners, their interpretation of the provision of the constitution, as regards the 25 percent in Abuja, is fallacious if not completely ludicrous,” the court said on Wednesday.

 

The court held that there is equality of rights irrespective of which part of the country voters prefer to live in.

 

 “The futility and hollowness in the arguments of the petitioners that the votes of the voters in the FCT have more weight than others in other parts of the country to the extent that their votes purportedly have a greater effect on other votes.”

  2. No stop abusing anybody. I wonder how a distant 3rd under a regional party will expect to win a presidential election. I thought you learnt a lesson but seems not. 2027 is like tomorrow let him contest again but this time on a party with national spread and learn to respect other non igbos may be he can come second that assistant presidential candidate. In 2031may be one of the candidates can make him vice presidential aspirant since you insist he must enter aso rock. On serious note, politics is not done by force or abuse but by number and you need others to succeed
