A runoff election is one which is conducted when none of the candidates wins by absolute majority in a general election. And it is a direct election. E.g in the 2015 elections, a runoff had to be conducted in IMO state because the election did not produce a winner.
The selected answer is wrong:
An Indirect election is a system whereby the legislators or local government unit will form a body known as ELECTORAL COLLEGE which will have to vote on behalf of the citizens as a result of the failure of the general election to produce elected candidates.
Run 0ff election also known as second ballot takes place when there is no clear winner (i.e no candidate won by absolute majority) in the first election and in this second election only candidates with the highest votes are allowed to contest.
The answer is Indirect Election because all indirect elections involves an electoral college while not all run off election need an electoral college to vote on behalf of the citizens.
The Best Answer is D.
