snoop1130 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 EC expected to announce official constituency seat winners tomorrow By The Nation The Election Commission is on Tuesday expected to announce the official results of the winners of parliamentary constituency seats from the March 24 general election. The polling agency panel on the election’s administration on Monday reported the results to the EC for further examination. The EC will then on Tuesday morning conduct a final review and examination of the results, before in the afternoon revealing about 95 per cent of the winners, as stipulated by the Constitution. It is reported that the EC will then announce the names of party-list winners on Wednesday, including those who are under investigation for violating election laws. The electoral agency will later ask the Constitutional Court to rule on the under-investigation candidates.

Grossman Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I guess they'll reveal certain bunch of good peoples parties getting a win on this one (and not just a popular vote for PPP) and then conveniently leaving the 5% shrouded in mystery again for yet more fun and games (especially should their BS result be contested and torn open in the public again without a trivial way to shrug it off). Can someone enlighten my silly ol' brain, as I must have missed something vital here.. But what part of the constitution exactly stipulates this "95%"? I recall 9th of May being an absolute deadline for FINAL results, though I guess having a modify-as-you-please constitution comes in handy for things like this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The election must be finalised by the 9th, which is why there will be voting taking place on the 26th. I don't understand what's so confusing. It all makes perfect sense. ???? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DLock Posted May 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2019 I don't even understand why the delay. Most countries have an election and announce the vote counting and election results in real time - as in the same day. This delay makes everything seem murky, underhanded and ripe for corruption. ...and the missing 5%? The delay only gave let them count 95%? That last 5% is probably going to make all the difference. I can't see this ending well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 my guess is that those that won seats through voting will be wondering why they haven't won seats and a lot of them will be reading it from behind bars for claiming they did winning an election has a whole new meaning - if you want a seat go to a seat shop and buy one - these ones are taken already 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeahbutwhytho Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Everyone should stop complaining that it's taking too long Do you know how long it takes to take a vote from one place, and move it over to another place They're missing calculators too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greeneking Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 solidarity and unity being called for by an important figure. I guess the call will be for the parties who want democracy to back down for the good of the country. Senate seats going for royal approval soon. Is a balanced Senate even possible? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see this ending well. you are referring to normal democratic countries having normal democratic elections, they do announce the results in a timely manner because they don't need to "arrange" the results, as soon as the call for delays it all falls down the pipes and the credibility gets questioned and scrutinized, the murky is becoming very murky and no happy ending in the horizon Edited May 7, 2019 by Mavideol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC endorsed all the existing 349 constituency MPs today except for the seat in Chiangmai which will see a bye-election. The caveat is that there are still 40 reported cases of election illegality and will be investigated and may see changes. Party list MPs will be finalized by Friday after the court decide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they are reviewing their numbers and results in an effort to have answers ready for the discrepancies that will be included, but deemed necessary to give the results desired, when the public and their proxies starts asking questions.
