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. During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at blog44may continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.

  2. Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at blog33single extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  3. Honest reaction is that this is the kind of writing I would defend in a conversation about good blog content, and a look at maverickmaker 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.

  4. Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at willowwharf fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.

  5. Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at orbitopal extended that wish across more subjects, the rarity of careful coverage on most topics is a problem and this site is one of the small antidotes to that broader pattern of casual or surface treatment of complex subjects.

  6. Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at marqesta extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.

  7. Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at watchwhisper furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.

  8. Decided to write a short note to the author if there is contact info anywhere, and a stop at luxfable 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.

  9. Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at novaaisle maintained the same unforced quality, writing that achieves elegance without effort is the highest tier and this site has clearly worked out how to land that effortless quality consistently rather than only on the writers best days.

  10. Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at charmchoice earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.

  11. Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at makermerchant reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.

  12. Making a move — no walk in the park. Went through it recently not so many months back, and I’ll be straight with you, a serious process. Think you’ve got it covered, then it explodes. Everyone’s got an opinion, but I wanted the real scoop. The gist of it: if you’re after a solid moving company around here, take a measured approach. The thing is: experienced crews breeze through logistics — especially with bigger items. How I played it — made plenty of calls — and I’m completely serious, I avoided a major mess. This one’s worth your time that helped me decide. southern nevada movers [url=https://movers-in-nevada-uwq.com]https://movers-in-nevada-uwq.com[/url] That compilation gave me clear direction. Everything visible — zero fine print games. Locked everything in from that page and everything ran like clockwork. So be thorough about it. Make sure everything’s in writing. Solid movers change the whole game. Wishing you an easy transition!

  13. Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at bazaarbright similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.

  14. Glad the writer did not feel compelled to cover every possible angle of the topic, focus is a virtue, and a stop at keywordkiosk 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.

  15. Going to share this with a friend who has been asking the same questions for a while now, and a stop at trailtreasure added a few more pages I will pass along too, this is the kind of generous information that earns a small thank you from me right now and again later this week.

  16. Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at novalyn 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.

  17. Reading this gave me a small framework I expect to use going forward, and a stop at pointport extended that framework, content that produces transferable mental models rather than just specific facts is content with multiplicative value and this site is providing those models at a rate that justifies extra attention from me regularly.

  18. Felt this in a way I cannot quite explain, the topic just hit different here, and a stop at rugripple continued in that vein, sometimes you find a site whose perspective lines up with how you have been thinking and reading their work feels like a small relief which I appreciated more than I expected.

  19. Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at devspring kept that quiet confidence going across the site, this is what writing looks like when the writer trusts the content to land on its own without theatrics or unnecessary attention seeking behaviour.

  20. Skipped the related links section thinking I had read enough and then came back to it later when curiosity got the better of me, and a stop at solidrunway confirmed I should have just read it first, every section of this site appears to deserve careful attention rather than skipping past lazily.

  21. Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at appcreek 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.

  22. Вот такая ситуация — близкий сорвался. Вторая неделя пошла. В больницу не хочет. А время идёт. Благо — посоветовали надёжных врачей. Оказывается, работает круглосуточная помощь — выездная капельница. Анонимно и конфиденциально. Врач уже через час. Полный набор для вывода. Токсины выводятся — безопасно. Цены адекватные. цены на вывод из запоя на дому [url=https://alkogolizm.vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-ayu.ru]цены на вывод из запоя на дому[/url] Все условия там. Проверил лично — врачи профессионалы. После процедуры сразу легче. Главное — не медлить. Здоровье дороже всего. Кто ищет выход — обращайтесь. Держитесь!

  23. Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at tracerunway kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.

  24. Solid value for anyone willing to read carefully, and a look at thrivenet extends that value across the rest of the site, this is the kind of place that rewards return visits rather than offering everything in a single splashy post and then leaving readers nothing to come back for later which is unfortunately common.

  25. Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at wishwharf extended that into more pages, finding a site where the editorial vision shows through every choice rather than feeling random is an increasingly rare experience and one I am glad to have today during this particular reading session.

  26. Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at standingstation continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.

  27. Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at flarelink was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.

  28. Печальная история — близкий сорвался. Таблетки не дают эффекта. А время идёт. Хорошо, что нам подсказали. Оказывается, есть решение — срочная помощь на месте. Специалист через час. В любое время. Анонимно и конфиденциально. Выводят из запоя мягко — эффективно.

Уже пользовался их услугами — помогли реально. Состояние улучшается. И что важно — без срывов. Чем раньше, тем лучше. Время работает против. Кому нужна срочная помощь — рекомендую. Держитесь!

  29. Какая ситуация — родственник не выходит из состояния. Скорая отказывается — а состояние тяжёлое. Хорошо, что узнали — есть круглосуточная помощь. Полный набор для вывода. Через час уже на месте. Капельница очищает организм — безопасно. Без лишних вопросов. Цены адекватные. выведение из запоя на дому воронеж [url=https://alkogolizm.vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-eio.ru]выведение из запоя на дому воронеж[/url] Все условия работы.

  30. Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at devlagoon confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.

  31. Попали в сложную ситуацию — отец не выходит из запоя. Таблетки не помогают — а помочь надо срочно. Хорошо, что вовремя узнали. Выход есть — выездная наркологическая помощь. Вызывать можно круглосуточно. Бригада оперативно. Токсины выводятся — с гарантией результата. Никаких учётов. вывести из запоя на дому [url=https://alkogolizm.vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]вывести из запоя на дому[/url] Вся информация на сайте. Уже пользовался — реально помогли. Цены нормальные. Оборудование и препараты. Становится легче. Чем раньше — тем лучше. Здоровье — это главное. Кто не знает куда бежать — советую. Всё наладится!

  32. Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at gocek4 only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.

  33. Worth flagging that this approach to the topic is fresh without being contrarian, and a stop at lynxloom extended the same fresh angle, finding original perspective on familiar subjects is rare and this site has clearly developed its own way of seeing rather than echoing the dominant takes from elsewhere consistently.

  34. Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at sleekselect reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.

  35. Really like that there are no exclamation marks or all caps shouting throughout the post, and a quick visit to xacttrove maintained the same calm voice, restraint in punctuation signals confidence in the content and this site clearly trusts its substance to do the persuading rather than relying on typographic emphasis.

  36. Давно хотел — стать гражданином Израиля. Сбор документов — это был кошмар. Как правильно оформить. Соседи направили — сопровождение в оформлении. Специалисты по репатриации сделали процесс прозрачным. Проверили каждую бумагу — без головной боли. Собеседование прошло успешно. Только официальный путь. Я наконец там, где должен быть. Кто хочет быстрого результата — не тяните. помощь в репатриации [url=https://grazhdanstvo-izrailya-pro.ru]помощь в репатриации[/url] По ссылке — контакты специалистов кто ищет помощь в Израиль. Шаг к новой жизни начинается сегодня

  37. A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at lahorelabel maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.

  38. Now feeling the rare pleasure of trusting a source completely on first encounter, and a look at falnora extended that initial trust into something more durable, the calibration of trust to evidence is something I do informally and this site has earned high trust through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good posts already.

  39. Попали в переплет — человек в запоре. Таблетки бесполезны — а риск растёт. Хорошо — наткнулся на нужную информацию. И вот что важно — работает капельница от запоя на дому. Анонимно и конфиденциально. Капельницы и препараты с собой. Капельница очищает — безопасно. Причём цены адекватные — экономия времени и нервов. вывод из запоя на дому телефоны [url=https://narkolog.vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]https://narkolog.vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru[/url] На сайте подробно — круглосуточно. Уже вызывал — врач грамотный. Чем быстрее, тем лучше. Хорошо, что такие службы работают. Не бойтесь обращаться. Это не стыдно. Поправляйтесь!

  40. 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 appfortune 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.

  41. Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at devsmith continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.

  42. Now adjusting my mental list of reliable sites for this topic, and a stop at softport reinforced the adjustment, the small ongoing curation work of maintaining trusted sources is one of the actual practical activities of careful reading and this site has earned a permanent place on my list for this particular subject.

  43. Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to nutrinest only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.

  44. Когда мечтал о новом паспорте — не знал, с чего начать. Собирать документы самому — выматывало до предела. Друзья подсказали — помощь в получении гражданства Израиля. Специалисты центра подготовили полный пакет. Проверили корни — в удобном формате. Через месяц я получил приглашение в консульство. Никаких серых схем. Я наконец дома.

  45. Неприятная история — у близкого человека началось. Запой затянулся, а в больницу не хочет. Кто поможет — проблема висит. Хорошо, нашли нужный номер. Оказывается есть — помощь прямо сейчас — без лишней волокиты. Приезжают в течение часа — выводят из запоя. И отмечу особо — конфиденциально. Оправданно — выгоднее чем стационар. вывод из запоя на дому телефоны [url=https://kruglosutochno.vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh.ru]https://kruglosutochno.vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh.ru[/url] Там контакты и цены — 24/7 готовы выехать. Сам вызывал — всё честно. Полный набор инструментов — без доплат. Показатели пришли в норму. Могу порекомендовать — выход из кризиса. Действуйте сразу. Лучше перебдеть.

  46. 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 bloombarrel 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.

  47. Now recognising that this site has earned a place in the small group of resources I treat as authoritative, and a stop at freightfriendly confirmed that placement, the difference between resources I trust and resources I just consume is real and this site has clearly moved into the trusted category through consistent quality over time.

  48. Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at adsetatelier extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.

  49. Проблема — родной сорвался. На дому не помогают — нужен стационар. Хорошо, что есть хорошая клиника. Работает вывод из запоя в стационаре. Полный мониторинг. Детоксикация — безопасно и эффективно. Никто не узнает. Условия комфортные. вывод из запоя в стационаре клиника [url=https://narkolog.vyvod-iz-zapoya-v-stacionare-samara12.ru]вывод из запоя в стационаре клиника[/url] На сайте подробности. Родственника положили — врачи профессионалы. Состояние нормализуется. И что ценно — с заботой. Не откладывайте. Время не ждёт. Кто уже не справляется — рекомендую. Поправляйтесь!

  50. Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at anchoratlas continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.
