The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Adamawa state, Dr Umar Ardo has eventually resolved to also challenge the credibility of the outcome of the March, 2023 governorship election in the state, begore the electoral tribunal
Ardo who in the consideration of contested rather unacceptable election result emerged as third runner, shared his position Wednesday, via his Facebook page.
He said: “Whatever the defects of the 2023 electoral process, one thing is crystal clear – the ultimate truth of the results is scientifically verifiable! The accuracy of its outcome can be confirmed by first examining the BVAS machine in order to determine its usage in the actual number of voters it accredited in a Polling Unit, then compare same with the total number of votes cast declared for that Unit; and second, by subjecting the thumb printed Ballot Papers to forensic analysis to verify the authenticity of the votes cast themselves! This way we will eliminate such electoral malpractices as bypassing the BVAS Machines, over voting, multiple voting, irregular voting, votes allocation and results changing. In other words, the scientific truth of the election can be established.
“Consequently, after widespread consultations with family members, friends and political allies and supporters, for the sake of enhancing the sanctity of our electioneering process and deepening rule of law and democracy in our state, I have now decided to go to tribunal to employ technology and establish the truth of the 18th of March Adamawa State governorship election. May God help us on the path of truth. Ameen!”
