Mr Felix Hyat, Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kaduna State, has said that the inconsistencies in the decisions of the election petition tribunals were hurting the nation’s democracy.
Hyat particularly expressed surprise at the contrasting rulings in Plateau even when all the facts, claims and circumstances were the same. “I am not a lawyer, but we all know that the issue of primaries is purely an internal matter of the party. “So, you wonder; on what ground would a tribunal rule in favour of an opposing party that is alleging that the opponent did not hold a Congress? How does that become an outsider’s concern?”“Kaduna, Kano and Nasarawa States had the same complaints about irregularities in INEC calculations of votes during the governorship polls.
“But in Kaduna, the tribunal only opted to call for fresh elections in some polling units even when we brought videos of scenes where votes were mutilated.
