NOA seeks reduction in political parties in Nigeria
DAILY POST reports that 70 political parties were entered for the February 23 presidential election, making even the process of result collation labourous, which was not justified by the output as, beyond the big two: APC and PDP, which got 15 million and 11 million votes respectively, none of the other 71 parties could get anywhere close to one million votes.
“Possibly to support this view, the party that came third in the presidential election, the PCP which scored 110,196 votes, might have looked like PDP to many voters and it actually comes immediately before PDP on the ballot. Similarly, the party which ranked fourth in number of votes gathered at the presidential election, the ADC which got 97,874 votes, might have been mistaken by some voters to be APC.
