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. After reading several posts back to back the consistent voice across them is impressive, and a stop at qorlino continued that voice consistency, sites that maintain a single coherent voice across many pieces by potentially many writers represent serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed the institutional consistency needed for that.

  2. Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at zorvilo 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. Glad to have another reliable bookmark for this topic, and a look at molvani suggested several more pages I will be marking too, building a personal library of trustworthy resources is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is earning a place on my permanent shortlist for the topic.

  4. Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at cabinbull reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.

  5. Салют, Москва Близкий человек снова сорвался Соседи стучат Домашние методы бесполезны Короче, единственный кто реально помог — нарколог на дом круглосуточно без выходных Приехал через 40 минут В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — помощь нарколога на дому при алкоголизме [url=https://narkolog-na-dom-moskva-kjl.ru]https://narkolog-na-dom-moskva-kjl.ru[/url] Не ждите пока станет хуже Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  6. Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at luzqiro 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.

  7. A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at mastlarch continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.

  8. My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at astrobrunch confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.

  9. Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at hekfox confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.

  10. Worth a slow read rather than the fast scan I usually default to, and a look at zulvexa earned the same slower pace from me, content that resets my reading speed downward is content with substance worth absorbing and this site has produced that effect on me multiple times now over the last week here.

  11. Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at bauxable 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.

  14. Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at pebbleoboe rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.

  15. Quietly the post solved something I had been turning over without quite knowing how to phrase the question, and a look at octanepinto extended that quiet solving, content that addresses unformulated needs is content with reader insight and this site has demonstrated that insight at a high rate across the pieces I have read recently.

  16. Considered alongside other sources I have been reading this one consistently rises to the top, and a stop at minimparch maintained that top ranking, the informal ongoing comparison between sources is something I do whenever reading on a topic and this site keeps coming out near the top of those comparisons over many sessions.

  17. Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at ideastomotion 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.

  18.

  19. Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at claritychanneling would round out their understanding nicely, this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.

  20. Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at mexqiro confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.

  21.

  22. Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at cartrivo reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.

  23. Привет из Екб Ситуация жёсткая Рассол уже не лезет Короче, нашел реально работающий способ — капельница от похмелья быстрый результат Вернулся к жизни В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — вызвать капельницу на дом снять похмелье [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-ekaterinburg-lks.ru]вызвать капельницу на дом снять похмелье[/url] Капельница — это быстро и эффективно Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  24. Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at civiccask confirmed the dedicated folder was the right call, dedicated folders for individual sites are a level of organisation I rarely deploy and this site has earned that level of dedicated tracking based on the consistency I have seen so far across sessions.

  25.

  26. Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at larksmemo reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.

  27. A clear case of writing that does not try to do too much in one post, and a look at pruneoval maintained the same scoped discipline, posts that try to cover too much end up covering nothing well and this site has clearly chosen scope discipline as a core editorial principle which shows up clearly in what I read.

  28. Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through qorzino only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.

  29. Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at urbanrivo 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.

  30. Good post, the kind that respects the reader by getting to the point quickly without skipping the details that matter, and a short look at molzari confirmed that approach is consistent across the site which is rare to find online these days, definitely a place I will return to soon.

  31. Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at zulmora confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.

  34. Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at xarvilo keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.

  35.

  36.

  37. Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward, and a stop at meownoon reinforced that commitment, deciding to add a site to a regular rotation requires meeting a quality bar that very few places clear and this one cleared it cleanly without any noticeable effort or marketing push behind it.

  38. Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at mallivo extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.

  39. Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at tirlumo continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.

  40. Thanks for laying this out in a way that someone newer to the topic can follow, and a stop at hesyam kept that accessibility going, writing that meets readers at different experience levels without condescending is hard to do well and the writers here have clearly thought about who they are writing for.

  41. The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at clarityengine 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.

  42. Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at zunkavi extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.

  43. Доброго времени Голова раскалывается Рассол уже не лезет Короче, нашел реально работающий способ — капельница после похмелья с витаминами Вернулся к жизни В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — прокапать на дому похмелье [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-ekaterinburg-lks.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-ekaterinburg-lks.ru[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  44. Now sitting with the thoughts the post triggered rather than rushing on to the next thing, and a stop at minutemotel extended that reflective pause, content that earns time for thought after closing the tab is content of higher value than the merely interesting and this site has clearly produced that lasting effect today.

  45. Appreciate that you did not pad this with fluff to hit a word count, the post says what it needs to say and stops, and a look at pebbleorbit did the same, brevity here feels intentional not lazy which is a distinction many writers miss completely sometimes when they are working under deadlines.

  46. Всем привет с Урала Жесть полная Мать на грани Никакие таблетки не помогают Короче, спасла только эта капельница — капельница на дому от запоя с препаратами Поставили капельницу с детокс-раствором В общем, не потеряйте контакты — прокапывание от алкоголя на дому цена [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-ekaterinburg-sdj.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-ekaterinburg-sdj.ru[/url] Капельница — это реальный выход Перешлите тем кто в такой же беде

  47. After reading several posts back to back the consistent voice across them is impressive, and a stop at auralbrick continued that voice consistency, sites that maintain a single coherent voice across many pieces by potentially many writers represent serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed the institutional consistency needed for that.

  48. Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at clockcard reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.
