Due to some folks not understanding what Taraba Governorship Election Tribunal meant, here it is in a simple term:
Explaining Invalid Votes
In any given Election, any voter that thumbprints erroneously, inappropriately or for parties that did not file in candidates for the election – all such votes are regarded Invalid Votes.
In any given Election, any voter that thumbprints erroneously, inappropriately or for parties that did not file in candidates for the election – all such votes are regarded Invalid Votes.
The Result:PDP Got Invalid Votes In Taraba
In the eyes of the Law, PDP had no Candidate in that election – Why? Because the process they used in selecting a candidate to represent the party was flawed. As Jonathan and his crew tried so hard to use the PDP Governorship Tickets in attracting favours, loyalty and support across Nigeria, in order to execute that of Taraba, the PDP primaries was moved to Abuja to ensure the pre-determined outcome came to pass. And this contravenes the law.
So what that mean is that all the voters that thumbprint for PDP on the ballot paper in the Governorship election were just wasting their time and energy. By law, their votes were Invalid Votes (or put it this way – Wasted Votes).
So anyone that wants to hijack the electoral process in future can think twice. Kudos Mama Taraba for having a great legal team that saw this loophole.
God bless Nigeria.
