You must secure 25% of the votes cast in 24 states and FCT to become president.

Tinubu FCT Score:

90902 / 478923 * 100 = 18,980.......

= 18.9%

Atiku FCT Score:

74199 / 478923 * 100 = 15,492.......

= 15.4%

Basis:

Section 134 (2) of the Nigerian constitution.

You must secure 25% of the votes cast in the FCT. Tinub and Atike failed to meet this requirement.

That’s dumb so what happens if there’s a rerun and Obi gets 90%. Meaning non of the others can be announced winners despite Obi not getting 25% of the other 25 states !

I think it means you have to get 25% of 25 states ( 36 states + FCT (37 technically ) )

Now that tinubu didn’t secure 25 percent there’s going to be a rerun but initially you guys were screaming rig…..your hypocrisy speak reach high heavens…..where is this hatred coming from??this blind hate…the same reason you install buhari and drove Jonathan…you just want some folks gone by all means which makes it easy for the so called messiah to fool you cox your not thinking straight or logical at all.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is the capital territory of Nigeria, and it is in this territory that the capital city of Abuja is located. The FCT is not a state but is istered by elected officials who are supervised by the federal government.

I think Buhari set us all up, they will definitely form an interim government while there is a rerun.

VoteTinubu2023:
25% in FCT is not mandatory.

Now, he needs 25% in 25 states instead of 24.

Get quality education.

OfficialAPCNig:
Tinubu fails to get 25% in FCT

I think he actually got it 25% of 281,700 is around 70,000.

blazepascal:

vicdom:

Oga it's less than 20%, do the maths nah

Oga it is 20%. Do the statistics

OfficialAPCNig:
Tinubu fails to get 25% in FCT

But he has in the whole of Nigeria

SmartyPants:


Wrong. The Law does not say you must win 25% in the States and then 25% of the FCT.

You must win 25% of the States and the FCT put together. Anyway you will understand better as the day goes on.

State the law. We debate a lot here without quoting the actual law.

Section 134 of the constitution states that a candidate will be declared winner of a presidential election if he has “(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and (b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja

2/3 of the States and the FCT. It's in black and white. This is the first time a leading presidential candidate is falling short of the 25%.

With all the massive outing, that was the total result that was brought? Interesting

When you are filled with hate. You Gail to understand simple English

“We have 36 states of the federation and two-thirds of that is about 25. So, if you are a presidential candidate, you must have 25 percent of the total votes cast in at least 25 states of the federation before you are declared [winner]. If nobody has that, if the candidate with the highest number of votes still fails to have the required 25 percent, there will be a rerun election,”

To rigged out Peter Obi is an attack on Nigeria democracy: they can not rigged out Peter Obi from the Presidential elections.

Nigerians have seen the enemies of Peter Obi defeated.
Nigerians that wants New Nigeria will never allow enemies to defeat the honest man called Peter Obi.

Those planning evil against Peter Obi, Labour Party and obidients will surely stumble and fall but Peter Obi, Labour Party and obidients will rise and stand firm.

Peter Obi is the next President of Nigeria after President Buhari.
Rejoice everyone, New Nigeria is here.

Okay on Naira Land

not correct. FCT is counted amongst the states to be secured with 25%

So are we going to have a re run between who now

Your brain as departed from you

vicdom:

He got less than 20% sef. I smell rerun ooo

Lol he doesn’t have to win FCT…all he needs is 25%!in 24 states across the nation.

In a rerun, a candidate only requires a simple majority to emerge winner. It's in the constitution.

Bros make we attended the swearing in ceremony. Peter Obi, President of Nairaland republic

This is a nice analysis but you can't make up your own laws.

This is the law:
Section 134 of the constitution states that a candidate will be declared winner of a presidential election if he has “(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and (b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja

It's looks petty but that's the law. No leading candidate has gotten less than 25% until today. So we'll see if INEC will overrule it like it overruled itself on the use of BVAS.

Wow
Peter Obi wins Abuja, the capital of Nigeria
Peter Obi wins Lagos, former capital of Nigeria
Top popular places in Nigeria

I think 25% in abuja is mandatory i might be wrong though because it states 2/3 of 25% across the 36 states of the federation and Abuja’

According to chatgpt

vicdom:

I don't know how you did your own calculation, but this is it here.
90902 / 478923 * 100 = 18,980.......

= 18.9%

Oya say another thing abeg

Eku oriire, congratulations to him. He can never win borno , kano, kebbi, zamfara and some core northern state. If he likes let him keep contesting one million times.
