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. Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at shopdeckmarket 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.

  2. Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at abobrim the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.

  3. Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at aviaryelder did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.

  4. Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after jibtix 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.

  5. 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 siskatriton 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.

  6. Bookmark added with a small mental note that this is a site to keep, and a look at verminturbo reinforced the keep status, the verb keep rather than visit captures something about how I think about this kind of site and it is a higher tier of relationship than I have with most places online today.

  7. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at orchardharbormerchantgallery confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

  8. Народ привет. Жесть полная случилась. Близкий человек уже третьи сутки в штопоре. Жена в истерике. Платные клиники просят бешеные деньги. Короче, нормальные врачи нашлись — профессиональное выведение из запоя капельницей. Поставили систему. В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — срочный вывод из запоя [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-ayu.ru]срочный вывод из запоя[/url] Не надейтесь на авось. Перешлите тому кому надо.

  9. Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at hobcar kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.

  10. Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at auroraharborcommercegallery earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.

  11. Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at topazstrict 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.

  12. One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at brightharborcommercegallery added even more weight to that impression, this is genuinely good content that holds its own against far better known sites in the same space without trying to imitate any of them at all which I appreciate.

  13. Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at pebblepinecraftcollective 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.

  14. Genuine reaction is that this site clicked with how I like to read, and a look at stoneharborcommercegallery kept that comfortable fit going, sometimes you find a place online whose editorial decisions just align with your preferences and when that happens it is worth recognising and supporting through repeat engagement consistently going forward.

  15. Ребята всем привет. Попал я в переплёт. Человек уже четвёртые сутки в штопоре. Дети не спят ночами. В диспансер везти — учёт на всю жизнь.

  16. Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at jifarena continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.

  17. Ребята привет. Попал в переплёт конкретный. Отец не выходит из штопора. Жена рыдает. В диспансер везти — клеймо на всю жизнь.

  18. Народ выручайте. Столкнулся с такой бедой. Муж просто пропадает. Дети не спят ночами. Скорая не едет. Короче, единственное что реально помогло — срочный вывод из запоя круглосуточно.

  19. Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at premiumpickmarket maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.

  20. Друзья ситуация жуткая. Столкнулся с такой бедой. Брат пьёт без остановки. Жена в слезах. В диспансер везти — учёт на всю жизнь.

  22. Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at daisycovemerchantgallery 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.

  23. Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at urchinsail added more to that growing pile, sites where internal links lead to more good content rather than to more of the same recycled material are sites with depth and this one has clearly built that depth carefully.

  24. Really appreciate that the writer did not stretch the post to hit some target word count, the points end when they are made, and a stop at rosecovecraftcollective reflected the same discipline, brevity is generosity in disguise and this site has clearly figured that out far better than most blog operations have.

  25. Друзья ситуация. Попал в жесть полную. Брат пьёт без остановки. Жена вся в слезах. Платные клиники ломят бешеные деньги. Короче, только это и вытащило — качественное выведение из запоя капельницей. Поставили систему. В общем, сохраняйте на будущее — вывод из запоя цена на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-eio.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-eio.ru[/url] Каждый час на счету. Скиньте другу в беде.

  26. Considered against the flood of similar content this one stands apart in important ways, and a stop at flintimpala extended that distinctive feel, sites that find their own corner of a crowded topic and stay there are sites worth following and this one has clearly carved out its own space and committed to defending it carefully.

  27. Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at shopaxismarket continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.

  28. Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through shopfieldmarket I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

  29. Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at jadburst suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.

  30. Now adjusting my expectations upward for the topic based on this post, and a stop at kettlecrestartisanexchange continued that bar raising effect, content that resets what I think is possible on a subject is doing real work in shaping my standards and this site is providing those bar raising experiences at a notable rate during sessions.

  31. A piece that took its time without dragging, and a look at topaztower 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.

  32. Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at sofatavern 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.

  33. Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at falconcameo pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.

  34. Народ привет. Столкнулся с настоящей бедой. Муж просто исчез в бутылке. Дети не спят по ночам. В диспансер везти — на всю жизнь учёт. Короче, единственное что реально помогло — лучшая наркологическая клиника с выездом. Приехали через час. В общем, сохраняйте на будущее — вывод из запоя на дому телефоны [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-ayu.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-ayu.ru[/url] Каждая минута дорога. Перешлите тому кому надо.

  35. A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at atticcondor continued that invisible polish, the best editing disappears into the prose and this site reads as having been edited with skill that does not announce itself which is the highest compliment I can offer any blog content.

  36. A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at pebblecreekcommercegallery carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.

  37. A piece that earned its conclusions through the body rather than asserting them at the end, and a look at holbook maintained the same earned quality, conclusions that follow from what came before are more persuasive than declarations and this site has clearly internalised that principle in how it constructs arguments throughout pieces.

  38. Слушайте что расскажу. Попал я в переплёт конкретный. Муж просто пропадает. Соседи стучат в дверь. Скорая не едет. Короче, нормальные врачи нашлись — профессиональное выведение из запоя капельницей. Приехали через час.

Скиньте другу в беде.

  39. Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at autumnmeadowcommercegallery continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.

  40. Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after scrolltower 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.

  41. Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on jinblob I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.

  42. Народ выручайте. Попал я в переплёт. Человек уже четвёртые сутки в штопоре. Соседи стучат в дверь. В диспансер везти — учёт на всю жизнь.

  44. Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to jinvex only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.

  45. Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at pineharborcraftcollective kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.

  46. Reading this with a notebook open turned out to be the right move, and a stop at scrollturtle added more material to the notes, content that justifies active note taking from a passive reader is content with real informational density and this site is producing notes worthy material at a high rate consistently.

  47. Слушайте что расскажу. Жесть случилась полная. Близкий не выходит из запоя. Дети не спят ночами. В диспансер везти — учёт на всю жизнь. Короче, только это и спасло — профессиональное выведение из запоя капельницей. Отошёл за полчаса.

  48. Reading this slowly to give it the attention it deserved, and a stop at premiumpickzone earned the same slow read, choosing to read slowly is a small act of respect for content quality and very few sites earn that respect from me but this one did so without any explicit ask which is the cleanest way.

  49. Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at rubyorchardartisanexchange continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.

  50. Слушайте что расскажу. Влип я конкретно. Муж просто убивает себя. Соседи стучат в дверь. Скорая не едет на такие вызовы. Короче, единственное что реально помогло — доступный вывод из запоя цены адекватные. Поставили систему. В общем, там контакты и прайс и условия — вывод из запоя цены воронеж [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-eio.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-eio.ru[/url] Не надейтесь на авось. Перешлите тому кому надо.
