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. A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at sonarsandal 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.

  2. Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at holmglobe did not change that at all, this is one of the better corners of the open internet for this kind of content and I am glad I clicked through rather than skipping past quickly like I usually do.

  3. Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at irotix 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.

  4. Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at iciclebrookcommercegallery only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.

  5. Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at windharborcommercegallery 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.

  6. Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at auroracovegoodsgallery continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.

  7. Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at gildedgrovecommercegallery extended that thought, the few sites that meet this quality bar are precious specifically because they are rare and finding others like them is one of the ongoing projects of careful internet curation across the years.

  8. Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to grohax kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

  9. If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at zencovemerchantgallery extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.

  10. I really like the calm tone here, it does not push anything on the reader, and after I went through oxaboon I felt the same way, just steady useful content laid out without drama, which is exactly what someone trying to learn something quickly needs to find rather than aggressive marketing.

  11. Working through this site has been a small antidote to the shallow content that fills most of my reading time, and a stop at waferturtle extended that antidote function, sites that quietly improve the average quality of my reading by being themselves are sites worth supporting through return visits and recommendations consistently.

  12. Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to buycoreshop kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.

  13. Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at idebrim 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.

  14. Liked how the post handled an objection I was forming as I read, and a stop at hugtix similarly anticipated where my thinking was going next, the rare writer who can predict reader concerns and address them in advance is doing something most online content fails to do despite that being basic editorial work.

  15. Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at valuecartshop 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.

  16. Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at cricap 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.

  17. Appreciated how the post felt complete without overstaying its welcome, and a stop at thriftsundae confirmed that economical approach runs across the site, knowing when to stop is a skill many writers never develop but here the discipline is obvious and welcome from the perspective of a busy reader trying to learn things efficiently.

  18. Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at turbinevault continued that honest feel, content built on actual knowledge rather than aggregated summaries is something I value highly and rarely come across in regular searches on the open internet these days.

  19. Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at sageharborcraftcollective carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.

  20. Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at solostarlit extended that recalibration, the standards I bring to reading on the topic have shifted upward as a direct result of regular exposure to this kind of work and that shift will outlast any single reading session.

  21. Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at hopiron extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.

  22. Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at pineharbortradegallery continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.

  23. Honestly enjoyed not being sold anything for the entire duration of the post, and a look at gingerwoodcommercegallery kept that pleasant absence going across more pages, content that exists for its own sake rather than as a funnel to a paid product is increasingly rare and worth supporting where I can find it.

  24. Živjo vsem. Že dolgo sem iskal resnično rešitev. Ko gre za zdravljenje alkoholizma — ni šala. Prijatelj mi je priporočil en center, kjer imajo izkušnje. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev. Preverite sami na povezavi: ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma [url=http://alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]http://alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com[/url] Meni so res pomagali. Ni lahko priznati si, da imaš težavo. Ampak ko dobiš strokovno podporo — vse postane lažje. Več kot vredno je poskusiti. Srečno na tej poti!

  25. Dolga leta sem se boril sam. Potem pa sem izvedel za center in vse se je postavilo na svoje mesto. Govorim o zdravljenju alkoholizma pri Dr Vorobjevu. Veste, alkoholizem je bolezen, ne slabost. In kar je najpomembneje – lahko ostanete doma. Vse informacije in izkušnje drugih sem podrobno pregledal na spletni strani, posodobljene podatke pa si lahko ogledate tukaj: odvisnost od alkohol [url=http://www.zdravljenjealkoholizma.com]odvisnost od alkohol[/url]. Meni so resnično pomagali.

    Če nekdo v vaši okolici potrebuje pomoč – najboljša odločitev je poklicati. Vse se da, če hočeš.

  26. Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at juniperharborcommercegallery 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.

  27. Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at irubelt reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.

  28. A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at windharbormerchantgallery 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.

  29. Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at gildedcovegoodsroom confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.

  30. Veliko sem prebral in slišal o tem. Ko sem prvič slišal za odvajanje od alkohola po metodi Dr Vorobjeva, sem bil skeptičen. Ampak ko sem spoznal ljudi, ki jim je uspelo — ugotovil sem, da to res deluje. Alkoholizem uničuje družine. In najhuje je, da mnogi ne vedo, kam se obrniti. Zato priporočam, da preverite celoten postopek na spletni strani, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: Dr Vorobjev center [url=https://www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]https://www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com[/url]. Na tej povezavi so odgovori na vsa vprašanja.

    Meni je ta pristop pomagal. Če poznate koga, ki potrebuje pomoč — to je lahko prelomnica v vašem življenju. Srečno vsem na tej poti!

  31. Worth flagging that the writing rewarded a second read more than I expected, and a look at gunbolt produced the same second read benefit, content with hidden depths that emerge only on careful rereading is rare in the modern blog space and this site has clearly invested in that level of compositional density throughout.

  32. Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at zenharborcommercegallery added more of the same, this site clearly understands that real examples beat empty theory every single time which is the mark of a writer who knows their audience well and respects their time.

  33. Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at starlitvixen 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.

  34. Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at shoretunic confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.

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

  36. A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at buyersmarket maintained the same clarity of intention, knowing the goal of a piece before writing is something most blog content lacks and the clarity of purpose here shows up in every paragraph for any careful reader to notice.

  37. Liked the way the post handled the final paragraph, no neat bow but no abrupt cutoff either, and a stop at valecovegoodsgallery continued that thoughtful ending pattern, endings are hard and most blog writers either over engineer them or skip them entirely and this site has clearly figured out a sustainable middle approach.

  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 uptonstarlit 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. Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over crystalbuyhub the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.

  40. Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at vocabtoffee also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.

  41. Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at valueshoppinghub extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.

  42. Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at cyljax extended that calm pace, content produced without time pressure has a different quality than content shipped to meet a deadline and this site reads as written without urgency which produces a different and better experience for readers.

  43. Reading this in the gap between work projects was a small but meaningful break, and a stop at hueheron extended that gentle reset, content that provides genuine refreshment rather than just distraction during work breaks is content with a particular kind of utility and this site fits that role for me reliably during work days.

  44. Že dolgo nisem vedel, kako naprej. Potem pa sem dobil pravi nasvet in vse se je začelo obračati na bolje. Govorim o ambulantnem zdravljenju alkoholizma pri strokovnjakih, ki res znajo pomagati. Veste, ni lahko, ampak se da premagati. In kar je najpomembneje – lahko ostanete doma. Več o tem in o izkušnjah pacientov si lahko preberete neposredno na uradnem viru: Dr Vorobjev center [url=http://www.zdravljenjealkoholizma.com]http://www.zdravljenjealkoholizma.com[/url]. Po prvem tednu sem začutil razliko.

    Če vi ali kdo od vaših bližnjih ne ve, kam se obrniti – ne odlašajte. Vse se da, če hočeš.

  45. Solid recommendation from me to anyone working in the area, the perspective here is grounded, and a look at gladeharborcommercegallery adds even more useful angles, the kind of site that becomes a reference rather than just a one time read which is a higher bar than most blogs ever reach today on the modern web.

  46. Živjo vsem. Že dolgo sem iskal resnično rešitev. Ko gre za ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma — to je res težka zadeva. Prijatelj mi je pokazal en center, kjer ne obetajo nemogočega. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev. Preverite sami na povezavi: alkoholizem [url=https://www.alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]alkoholizem[/url] Po nekaj tednih sem začutil razliko. Prvi korak je vedno najtežji. Ampak ko vidiš, da nisi sam — vse postane lažje. Več kot vredno je poskusiti. Vsak nov dan je priložnost.

  47. Worth a slow read rather than the fast scan I usually default to, and a look at temposofa 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.

  48. Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at jekcar only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.

  49. Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at pyxedge 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.

  50. Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting, and a look at caramelcovemarketgallery continued that elevation effect, content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.
