INCONCLUSIVE ELECTIONS VS LANDSLIDE VICTORIES.

Since the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) days to People's Democratic Party,we had been hearing of Landslide victories. Elections were conducted by the ruling party and won by the ruling party. No matter how unpopular a candidate was , once you win nomination on the tickek of the ruling party,you are bound to have a landslide victory. For the most part of our Democratic experience, elections were highly manipulated.
I know of many logicians and Traditional rulers in Konshisha who converted their houses into polling units during elections.
With military Personel at their services, landslide victories were assured.
Professor Attahiru Mega, then INEC chairman introduced the card reader technology. The card reader technology seek to abolish multiple voting, ballot stuffing, etc.
This bring about inconclusive elections. Because, where there is violence and the card reader is tempered with ,such results are cancelled. In the last presidential and gubernatorial elections, Iwarnyam council ward in Konshisha had is result cancelled because the stake holder there refused to use the card reader.
The introduction of the card reader is a welcome development. Efforts must be made to sustain and even improve on it. If the card reader was used from 1999, PDP wouldn't have won any election and we wouldn't have been in this current mes.
