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. Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at devsapling carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.

  2. Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at readyperk 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.

  3. A piece that did not try to be timeless and ended up reading as durable anyway, and a look at mimisonline extended that durable feel, content that stays useful past its publication date without straining for permanence is content that ages well and this site has the kind of evergreen quality that I value highly today.

  4. Decided to write a short note to the author if there is contact info anywhere, and a stop at bondcrest extended that intention, the urge to thank the writer directly is a strong signal of content quality and this site has triggered that urge in me today which is a fairly rare event for my reading.

  5. Bookmark earned and shared the link with one specific person who would care, and a look at visionmapping got the same targeted share, sharing carefully rather than broadcasting is a discipline I try to maintain and this site is generating shares from me at a sustainable rate rather than the spam rate of viral content.

  6. Genuinely changed how I think about a small piece of the topic, which does not happen often online, and a look at softvalley added another nudge in the same direction, the kind of writing that earns a small mental shift rather than just confirming what you already thought before reading is a sign of careful thought.

  7. Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at longtermalliances only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.

  8. A genuine pleasure to find a site that publishes at a sustainable cadence rather than chasing the daily content treadmill, and a look at whimsywagon confirmed the careful publication rhythm, sites that prioritise quality over frequency are rare and this one has clearly chosen the slower pace which I appreciate as a reader.

  9. However selective I am about new bookmarks this one made it past my filter, and a look at iansoconnor confirmed the bookmark was worth the slot, the precious slots in my permanent bookmark folder are difficult to earn and this site earned one without making me think twice about whether the slot was justified by the quality.

  10. A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at worktrove maintained that selective approach, sites that publish less but better are increasingly rare in an environment that rewards volume and this one has clearly chosen quality cadence over quantity which is a brave editorial decision in current conditions.

  11. Came away with some new perspectives I had not considered before, and after echoemporium those ideas felt more complete, the kind of content that stays with you a little while after reading rather than slipping out the moment you switch tabs and move on with your day to whatever comes next.

  12. Reading this triggered a small but real correction in something I had assumed, and a stop at datanoble extended that corrective effect, content that updates my beliefs through evidence rather than rhetoric is content with intellectual integrity and this site has earned that label consistently across the pieces I have read so far today.

  13. Liked the careful selection of which details to include and which to skip, and a stop at cloudberrymarket reflected the same editorial judgement, knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to include and this site has clearly figured out where that line sits for the topics it covers regularly.

  14. If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at softreef reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.

  15. Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at discoverbusinessdirections extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.

  16. Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at icestbon confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.

  17. Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at devreap extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.

  18. Народ всем привет Объездил кучу салонов — везде перекупы То фасады кривые Короче, единственные кто не наваривается — кухня спб с гарантией Кромка немецкая В общем, там цены и каталог — заказать кухню в спб по индивидуальному проекту [url=https://kuhni-spb-kqd.ru]https://kuhni-spb-kqd.ru[/url] Не ведитесь на салоны-прокладки Перешлите тому кто ищет

  19. Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at solidengine produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.

  20. Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at utilityview continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.

  21. Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at appafluent added more material for those follow ups, content that prepares me for related conversations rather than just informing me alone is content with social utility and this site provides that social armament reliably for me.

  22. Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at softfactor maintained the same architectural quality, when sentence shapes and paragraph rhythms reinforce the meaning rather than just transporting words you know you are reading skilled work today.

  23. Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at luckyspin-lapakslot hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.

  24. Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at amberapp reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.

  25. If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at atlasapp reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.

  26. Питер, всем привет Цены космос а качество мыло То сроки по полгода Короче, реальные ребята с цехом — кухни на заказ в спб с проектом Кромка немецкая В общем, сохраняйте в закладки — кухни на заказ санкт петербург недорого [url=https://kuhni-spb-zmw.ru]https://kuhni-spb-zmw.ru[/url] Не ведитесь на салоны-прокладки Перешлите тому кто ищет

  27. Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at blog33point only encouraged more exploration, the kind of place where one click leads to another not through manipulative design but through genuinely interesting content is rare and worth highlighting when found like this somewhere on the open internet.

  28. Всем привет из Питера Фурнитуру ставят китайскую То сроки по полгода обещают Короче, единственные кто не наваривается — кухня на заказ в спб под ключ Кромка немецкая В общем, жмите чтобы не потерять — кухни на заказ спб [url=https://kuhni-spb-ptx.ru]кухни на заказ спб[/url] Не ведитесь на салоны-прокладки Перешлите тому кто ищет

  29. During a quiet evening reading session this provided just the right depth without being heavy, and a stop at edgedomain maintained the same evening appropriate weight, content with depth that does not exhaust the reader is content with editorial calibration and this site has clearly figured out how to be substantial without being demanding all the time.

  30. Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to enterprisegrowthpartnerships kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.

  31. Solid quality, the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim, and a quick look at blog33mean kept that standard going strong, content that rewards attention rather than punishing it is something I appreciate more and more these days online across nearly every topic I follow.

  32. Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at motionstrategy confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch, density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.

  33. Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at mesakey extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.

  34. Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at verasync extended that careful sharing impulse, content worth sharing carefully rather than spamming is content that has earned a higher kind of recommendation and this site has earned that careful shareability throughout pieces.

  35. Bookmark earned and shared the link with one specific person who would care, and a look at lunarloot got the same targeted share, sharing carefully rather than broadcasting is a discipline I try to maintain and this site is generating shares from me at a sustainable rate rather than the spam rate of viral content.

  36. A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at blog66fish 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.

  37. Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at blog44nights extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.

  38. Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one, and a stop at riseroute confirmed the trajectory, the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.

  39. Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at quadquill kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.

  40. Honest reaction is that this is the kind of writing I would defend in a conversation about good blog content, and a look at bestshoppingchoice reinforced that, the rare site whose work I would actively recommend rather than just tolerate is the kind I want to support through return visits regularly.

  41. Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at 8644m continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.

  42. Adding this to my list of go to references for the topic, and a stop at blog44forward confirmed the rest of the site deserves the same, definitely the kind of resource that earns its place rather than getting forgotten the moment the next interesting article shows up in my feed somewhere else on the web.

  43. Люди помогите советом Муж просто потерял себя Родственники не знают что делать Нужен врач прямо сейчас Короче, единственный кто реально помог — неотложная наркологическая помощь быстро Через пару часов человек пришёл в себя В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — вызвать нарколога [url=https://klinika.narkologicheskaya-pomoshh-v-kazani016.ru]https://klinika.narkologicheskaya-pomoshh-v-kazani016.ru[/url] Не ждите пока станет хуже Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  44. Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at dynastybond maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.

  45. Ну что, опять эта кухонная эпопея… У меня тоже был такой квест. Зависал на сайтах — голова кругом. Родственники советуют другое, а правда где-то посередине. В процессе выбора усвоил урок: перекупы дерут в три дорого. Собственно говоря — и качество видно вживую. Вот я, например перерыл кучу предложений, а в итоге осознал, что лучше держать перед глазами базу. И вот тут наткнулся на вариант, где всё разложено по полочкам. каталог кухонь на заказ от производителя СПб [url=https://zakazat-kuhnyu-nvd.ru]каталог кухонь на заказ от производителя СПб[/url] Признаюсь, был приятно удивлен — там и фотографии нормальные. Добавил в избранное, чтобы потом вернуться. И знаете, очень помогло. Когда понятен ориентир, голова не болит. Кстати, вот этот материал — гляньте на досуге. И про столешницы — комплексный подход. Так что не спешите, а лучше изучите вопрос. Дерзайте, всё получится!

  46. Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at validstacky confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.

  47. Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at blog33pay prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.

  48. Вот лично мой случай — когда листал портфолио, понял, что фото обманчивы. Идеально — съездить на производство. Кстати, вот тут как раз можно оценить масштаб. каталог современных кухонь на заказ [url=https://zakazat-kuhnyu-hxm.ru]https://zakazat-kuhnyu-hxm.ru[/url] Там и отзывы живые — в общем, хорошая база для старта. Я лично так и делал: потратил час на изучение, спросил про акции, и понял, что это мое. Главное — не дергаться, а выделите время на сравнение. Экономия нервов и денег обеспечена. Надеюсь, найдете свой идеал!

  49. Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at blog33question continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.

  50. Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at racerun reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.
