Election Law Bulletin: Primaries for bye elections-P. D. Pius,Esq

The dominant news in Taraba today is interesting for both PDP and APC. Here are the captions:

Newsflash: JYZ bye election, Crisis may rock PDP primaries, as Candidates fault Election of Special Delegates in  Jalingo, accused one of the  Stakeholder of secret selection- Taraba News

JYZ: Crisis looms in APC as the party set to conduct primaries tomorrow Many party officials in 3 affected LGAs said they are  not aware of tomorrow's primaries- Taraba News

Every election cycle is the same story. Interestingly, unlike general elections that election manipulations are hard to prove, it is very easy to prove and nullify primarily election rigging. Most primaries were nullified in the last election but politicians will not learn.

Conducting delegate election in secret or conducting primary election in secret or in airport may not end well for a political party if challenged in Court. It will cost nothing to conduct clean, credible, fair and transparent primaries.
