Kano by-election: PDP, NNPP, ADC missing from ballot

Three major opposition political parties are absent from the ballot in Saturday’s by-election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kano State.

The affected parties are the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and a coalition involving the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

INEC has, however, declared its readiness to conduct what it described as a free, fair, and credible by-election in the Municipal and Ungogo state constituencies.

The off-season poll is being held to fill two vacant seats in the Kano State House of Assembly following the deaths of the former lawmakers last year.

At a recent media briefing, the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Kano, Abdul Zango, assured journalists that all political parties were participating in the exercise.

“All political parties were given an equal opportunity to nominate candidates. The commission is fully prepared to conduct a transparent and credible election,” Zango had said.

However, the final list of candidates released by the commission showed that only nine political parties were cleared to contest, excluding the PDP, NNPP, and ADC.

According to INEC, the parties participating in the by-election include Accord (A), Action Democratic Party (ADP), Action Peoples Party (APP), African Action Congress (AAC), All Progressives Congress (APC), Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Young Progressives Party (YPP), and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).

While the commission has yet to publicly explain the absence of the major opposition parties, the affected parties have accused INEC of deliberately denying them the opportunity to exercise their constitutional rights.

The NNPP, which is factionalised into three groups in Kano, reportedly submitted six different candidates for the two constituencies.

Reacting to the development, the Boniface-led faction of the NNPP, through Senator Mushud El-Jibril Doguwa, accused INEC of unjustly disqualifying its candidates.

“We duly submitted our candidates for the Municipal and Ungogo constituencies, but INEC refused to recognise our party for reasons best known to them,” Doguwa said.

He added, “This is a clear attempt to sideline us from the democratic process. We will not accept it. We are already consulting our lawyers and will institute legal action against INEC.”

Efforts to reach the Kwankwasiyya and Abdullahi Abiya-led factions of the NNPP were unsuccessful, as both chairmen could not be reached by phone as of press time.

On his part, the Kano State Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Yusuf Kibiya, also accused the electoral body of violating provisions of the Electoral Act.

“We were ready and willing to participate in this by-election,” Kibiya said. “However, INEC only gave us four days to conduct our primaries and submit the names of candidates. That is not sufficient time, and it undermines the spirit of the law.”

He described the situation as “deeply troubling for democracy,” adding that the party would review its options.

  1. Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at siriustender kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.

  2. Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at coppercovecraftcollective extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.

  3. Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to meadowharborcraftcollective kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

  4. Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at hewblob added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.

  5. Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after buynestshop I was certain I had made the right call, snap judgements based on titles miss a lot of good content and this is a reminder to slow down and check things out before scrolling past in a hurry.

  6. Quietly building a case in my head for why this site deserves more attention than it currently seems to receive, and a look at wyxburn reinforced the case, the gap between quality and recognition is a recurring frustration in independent online content and this site is one of the cases that seems particularly egregious to me today.

  7. Ох уж это, человек просто не просыхает. Что делать — непонятно. Проверенный вариант — качественный вывод из запоя на дому. Не шарлатаны какие-то. Короче, вот вам информация — вывод из запоя на дому недорого [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]вывод из запоя на дому недорого[/url] Каждая пьянка минус ресурс. Сам через это прошел, чем хоронить близкого. Серьезно ребят.

  8. Found a small mental shift after reading this, the framing here is just a bit different from the standard takes online, and a look at quickharborcraftcollective extended that fresh perspective across more material, the rare site whose voice actually changes how you think about something rather than just confirming existing beliefs.

  9. Glad the writer did not feel compelled to cover every possible angle of the topic, focus is a virtue, and a stop at cadbrisk reflected the same disciplined scope, knowing what to leave out is half of what makes good writing good and this post has clearly been edited with that principle in mind.

  10. Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at swiftvantage prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.

  11. Товарищи, ситуация жуткая когда — отец просто умирает на глазах. Дети плачут. Участковый разводит руками. У меня брат так чуть не загнулся. Короче, проверенный способ — адекватный вывод из запоя цены нормальные. Поставили систему за 20 минут. В общем, жмите чтобы не потерять — вывести из запоя на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-jhg.ru]вывести из запоя на дому[/url] Промедление реально убивает. Деньги потом не нужны будут. Перешлите тому кто в беде.

  12. A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at sundaestudio continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.

  13. Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked maplecrestmerchantgallery I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.

  14. Bookmark added in three places to make sure I do not lose the link, and a look at onecartplace got the same redundant treatment, sites I am afraid to lose are the rare keepers and this is clearly one of them based on what I have read so far across this and a couple of related posts.

  15. Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at ilenub extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.

  16. Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at ferncovevendorcorner produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.

  17. A piece that exhibited the kind of patience that good writing requires, and a look at ravengrovecommercegallery continued that patient quality, hurried writing is easy to spot and this site reads as having been written without time pressure which produces a different feel than the rushed content that dominates much of the modern blog space.

  18. Thanks for the clean writing, no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have, and a quick stop at jebmug kept that polish going nicely, it really does make a difference when a reader can move through a page without tripping on every line or going back to reread.

  19. Знаете, родственники просто в тупике. Ситуация аховая. В этом вопросе главное не заниматься самодеятельностью. Я нарыл инфу — срочный вывод из запоя. Клиника с лицензией. Если честно, жмите сюда чтобы узнать подробности — вывод из запоя на дому круглосуточно [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru[/url] Звоните пока не поздно, потому что запой убивает почки и сердце. Сам так спасал брата.

  20. Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at cameogrouse extended that thought, the few sites that meet this quality bar are precious specifically because they are rare and finding others like them is one of the ongoing projects of careful internet curation across the years.

  21. Блин народ, столкнулись с жестью. Муж пьёт неделю без остановки. Нервов уже ни у кого нет. Скорая не приезжает. Короче, единственное что реально помогло — нормальное выведение из запоя капельницей. Поставили систему. В общем, вся инфа вот тут — вывод из запоя на дому телефоны [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru[/url] Промедление смерти подобно. Сохраните себе.

  22. Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at ferncovemerchantgallery added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.

  23. Друзья, бывает же такое горе. Близкий уже неделю не просыхает. Думал уже всё. Скорая не едет. Короче, только это и работает — адекватный вывод из запоя цены приемлемые. Поставили систему. В общем, там и контакты и прайс — вывод из запоя цены воронеж [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-zqw.ru]вывод из запоя цены воронеж[/url] Не тяните. Скиньте кому надо.

  24. Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at flintbrookmarketfoundry produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.

  25. Started forming counter examples to test the claims and the post handled most of them implicitly, and a look at openmarketcart continued that anticipatory style, writers who think two steps ahead of the critical reader save themselves from a lot of follow up work and this writer has clearly internalised that habit consistently.

  26. Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at acornharborcommercegallery suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.

  27. Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at vesselthrift reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.

  28. Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to bexedge confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.

  29. Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting, and a look at crowncoveartisanexchange continued that elevation effect, content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.

  30. Comfortable reading experience throughout, no jarring tone shifts and no awkward formatting, and a look at mintorchardartisanexchange kept that smooth feel going, the kind of editorial polish that goes unnoticed when present but glaring when absent is something this site has clearly invested in across the broader content as well which deserves recognition.

  31. During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at humbust extended that perfect fit into the rest of the routine, content that matches the rhythm of how I actually read rather than demanding accommodation from my schedule is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has it.

  32. Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me, and a stop at twisttailor continued displaying that sensibility, content that reveals editorial choices through accumulated reading is content with structural quality and this site has clearly developed an underlying approach worth identifying through multiple sessions of reading.

  33. Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at rainharborartisanexchange kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.

  34. Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at cobqix maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.

  35. A piece that took its time without dragging, and a look at stoneharborvendorparlor2 kept the same patient pace, the difference between unhurried and slow is a fine editorial distinction and this site has clearly found the unhurried side without slipping into the slow side which would have lost me as a reader quickly otherwise.

  36. A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at infinitygoodscorner suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.

  37. Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at saltvinca continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.

  38. Really appreciate that the writer did not overstate the importance of the topic to make the post feel weightier, and a quick visit to citrinefjord maintained the same modest framing, content that is honest about its own scope rather than inflating itself is the kind I trust and return to repeatedly over time.

  39. Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at quickbuyershub reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.

  40. Люди, представляете кошмар — близкий совсем не выходит из штопора. Жена в слезах. Участковый разводит руками. У меня брат так чуть не загнулся. Короче, только это и работает — профессиональное выведение из запоя капельницей. Откачали и спать уложили. В общем, вся инфа вот здесь — вывод из запоя на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-jhg.ru]вывод из запоя на дому[/url] Не надейтесь на авось. Здоровье дороже. Перешлите тому кто в беде.

  41. Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at maplegrovecommercegallery confirmed I will be back, the bar for spending time online is high for me these days but this site clears it without effort which is high praise indeed from this reader who is usually rather demanding.

  42. A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at jifaero produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.

  43. Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at flintcovecommerceatelier kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.

  44. Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at jebbrood extended that brightness, content that improves a hard day is content that has earned a particular kind of place in my reading habits and this site is occupying that uplifting role for me today which I appreciate clearly.

  45. The tone stayed consistent across the whole post which is harder than it looks for longer pieces, and a look at cobblebuckle continued the same voice, this kind of editorial consistency is a sign of either a single careful writer or a tightly run team and either is impressive today across the broader media environment.

  46. Народ кто сталкивался, столкнулись с жестью. Братан уже четвёртые сутки в штопоре. Думали конец. В платную клинику денег нет. Короче, единственное что реально помогло — нормальное выведение из запоя капельницей. Отошёл за полчаса. В общем, вся инфа вот тут — снять запой на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru[/url] Не тяните резину. Сохраните себе.

  47. Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at rosecovemerchantgallery maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.
