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.






Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at blog44how held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.
Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at cinderpetal pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.

Well done, the writing is professional without being stiff, and the topic is treated with care, and a look at blog33public reflected that approach, the kind of site I would point a colleague to if they asked for a reliable starting point on this topic in the future without any hesitation at all.
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at progressmovesdeliberately 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.
Reading this in pieces during a long afternoon and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at sablefernshop fit naturally into the same fragmented reading pattern, sites whose posts can be read in segments without losing the thread are well suited to how I actually read these days and this one is built well.
A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at datavalley continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.
Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at vincentmorrison continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.
Found the section structure particularly thoughtful, and a stop at blog66civil suggested the same care across the broader site, structural choices guide the reader through the material in ways most people do not consciously notice but feel the absence of when those choices are made carelessly or not at all.
Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at opalcloud confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.
I appreciate the clarity here, everything is explained in simple terms without unnecessary detail, and after a quick stop at saasselect the points came together nicely for me, the writing keeps things straightforward and respects the reader from start to finish without ever talking down to anyone.
Refreshing to find writing that does not try to manipulate the reader into clicking onto the next page through cliffhangers and forced engagement, and a stop at devreef continued in the same respectful way, this is what reader first design actually looks like in practice rather than just in marketing copy that sounds nice.
A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at devprairie maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.
Liked the balance between depth and brevity, never too shallow and never too long, and a stop at utama88a kept the same balance going across the rest of the site, this is one of the harder skills in writing and the team here clearly has it figured out very well indeed across every page.
During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at blog66can 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.
Glad the writer kept this short rather than padding it out, the points stand on their own without needing extra context, and a look at zestlink kept the same approach going, brevity is a sign of confidence in the substance and the team here clearly trusts their content to land without filler.
Now recognising that the post handled the topic with appropriate technical precision without becoming dry, and a stop at devorbit continued that balance, technical precision and readability are often in tension and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain both at once which is one of the harder editorial achievements in the form.
Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at appfactor earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.

A relief to read something where I did not have to fact check every claim mentally, and a look at halohaveny continued that reliable feeling, sites where I can lower my guard and trust the content are rare and this one is earning that trust paragraph by paragraph through consistent careful work behind the scenes.
Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at lynxlogic showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.
I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at tactpixel added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.
Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at prosperitybond continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.
Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at blog33night extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.
Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at kodekit also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at markgonzalez 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.
Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at blog33put prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.
Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at blog33current continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.
If you asked me to point to a recent positive sign for the open web this site would be near the top, and a stop at appbrook reinforced that designation, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce quality independent content are precious and this one has clearly become one for me.
Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at formfoundry extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.
Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at bondprimex confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.
Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at focusenergizesprogress continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.
Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at ordersure expanded what I will be sharing with them, this is the kind of resource that makes a real difference when you are trying to point a friend to something useful and reliable rather than generic marketing pages.
Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at blog33race continued that good feeling, content that leaves you better than it found you is rare and worth bookmarking when you stumble across it for the first time today or any other day really.
Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at softpasture confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.
Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at everydaypurchaseplatform did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.
A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at questlink maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.
This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at datawoods did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.
Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at heliodomain kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.
The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at flowdomain kept that approachable expertise going, finding the right register for technical content is hard but this site has clearly figured out how to sound knowledgeable without slipping into that distant lecturing tone that loses readers in droves every time.
Skipped a meeting reminder to finish the post, and a stop at appfactor held me past another reminder, when content beats meetings the writer is doing something extraordinary because meetings have institutional support behind them and yet good writing can still occasionally win that competition for attention which I find heartening today.
If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at softorchard extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.
If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at quartzdash extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.
Reading this gave me a quiet moment of intellectual pleasure that I had not been expecting, and a stop at urbanspot extended that pleasure across more pages, the unexpected reward of stumbling into careful writing is one of the small ongoing pleasures of reading the open web and this site is delivering it reliably.
Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at blog44two 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.
Skimmed first and then went back to read carefully, and the careful read paid off in places I had missed, and a stop at roamflow got the same treatment, the rare site whose content rewards a second pass is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable single read articles.
Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at queryqube 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.
Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at blog44market continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.
Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at gridcloud confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.
Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at growthnavigator extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.
