Weeks after he dumped his position in the legislative, Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has revealed the only way Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, could return to the Senate in 2023.<\/p>\n

According to INEC, the candidates who have been legally and constitutionally nominated by their political parties would determine the fate of Lawan or any individual in his position.<\/p>\n

Although the INEC\u2019s National Commissioner of Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye, who appeared on Arise TV on Monday morning, said he has not come across the names of candidates submitted by political parties, viral report has it that the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Yobe North Senatorial District has replaced the name of Bashir Machina with that of Lawan.<\/p>\n

While Senator Lawan was battling for the APC presidential ticket, Machina was declared the winner of the Yobe North Senatorial District primary election.<\/p>\n

Okoye said that the Commission monitored and has the reports of all the senatorial and House of Representatives primaries, adding that properly nominated candidates must write to INEC<\/a> with a sworn affidavit, asking for a fresh primary, which would be conducted within 14 days before a replacement can be made.<\/p>\n

He further advised Machina and others whose mandates have been taken from them to approach a well-constituted court of law to seek redress since INEC already has the reports from the primaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI completely agree with you that someone who has not contested party\u2019s primary should not be in a position to be nominated as party\u2019s candidate,\u201d Okoye said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut now the Independent National Electoral Commission is not in a position as at now to make a determination in relation to what you\u2019re saying or to make a determination in relation to whose name was submitted by a political party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commission monitored the primaries of different political parties. Their senatorial and House of Representatives primaries and we have our reports. So if somebody emerged from the party primary and someone else\u2019s name is submitted, it is the duty of that particular individual to utilise Section 285 of the Constitution, Section 84 and 29 of the Electoral Act to seek redress in a constituted court of law.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, what the law provides is that at the end of this nomination process, if any of the candidates that have been properly and constitutional nominated withdraws in writing and sworn affidavit that the \u2018political party that nominated me must and shall conduct fresh primaries within the period of 14 days and then make such replacement.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThen the person must do this through a letter submitted to the political party that nominated him with an affidavit indicating that he or she has voluntarily withdrawn. So that is the state of the law as at today.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
