Election: single candidate and two or more candidates

Section 179(3)(b) · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

(b) one among the remaining candidates who secured a majority of votes in the highest number of local government areas in the State, so however that where there are more than one candidate with a majority of votes in the highest number of local government areas, the candidate among them with the next highest total of votes cast at the election shall be the second candidate.

This is the 1999 Constitution as published in 2004. Later amendments aren't included yet, so a section may have changed since.
