Inec to commence another voting process in 14 days after Audu's death





The untimely death of APC
governorship aspirant in Kogi state
Prince Abubakar Audu, who is also
leading in yesterday governorship
election in Kogi state have thrown up
issues of what next the election umpire
INEC will do.
The Nigeria constitution only made
mention of death of elected
candidate that is yet to be sworn in.
The 2010 Electoral acts in section 36,
states that
SECTION 36 – Death of a candidate –
(1) If after the time for the delivery
of nomination paper and before the
commencement of the poll, a
nominated candidate dies, the Chief
National Electoral Commissioner or
the Resident Electoral Commissioner
shall, being satisfied of the fact of
the death, countermand the poll in
which the deceased candidate was to
participate and the Commission shall
appoint some other convenient date
for the election within 14 days.
(2) The list of voters to be used at a
postponed election shall be the
official voters register, which was to
be used if the election had not been
postponed.
This is the closest the electoral acts
states regarding Prince Abubakar
Audu Death.
