Neco Model Questions Vol1 2025 Government Question 11

Nigeria is considering a switch from a first‑past‑the‑post (FPTP) system to a mixed‑member proportional (MMP) system for its 120‑seat parliament. Under the proposed MMP, there are 80 constituency seats and 40 list seats, and a party must obtain at least (5%) of the total vote to qualify for list seats. The parties received the following vote shares and constituency results: - Party A: (45%) of the vote, won 50 constituency seats. - Party B: (30%) of the vote, won 20 constituency seats. - Party C: (15%) of the vote, won 10 constituency seats. - Party D: (7%) of the vote, won no constituency seats. - Party E: (3%) of the vote, won no constituency seats. Using the largest‑remainder (Hamilton) method to allocate the total 120 seats proportionally, how many list seats will Party B receive under the MMP system?
