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. 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 trendmixo 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.

  2. Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at claritymechanism reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.

  3. Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at summittrusthub kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.

  4. Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at capitalharmonybond extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.

  5. Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at ideascreatealignment 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.

  6. Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at smartinsight kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.

  7. Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at focuschannelsenergy extended the surprise, the rare experience of stumbling into excellent independent content rather than predictable mediocrity is one of the actual remaining pleasures of casual web browsing and this site provided it cleanly.

  8. Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at visionchannel extended that brightness, content that improves a hard day is content that has earned a particular kind of place in my reading habits and this site is occupying that uplifting role for me today which I appreciate clearly.

  9. Came back to this an hour later to reread a specific section, and a quick visit to signaldrivesfocus also drew a second look, content that pulls you back rather than letting you move on permanently is the kind I want to fill my browser bookmarks with in 2026 and beyond as the open internet evolves.

  10. Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at learnandgrow added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.

  11. Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at bondedgrowthline 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.

  12. Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at claritydrivesmovement continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.

  13. Народ кто в теме Задолбался я уже искать нормальное казино Денег слил на всяком говне Короче, единственное где не кидают — вавада с быстрыми выплатами Всё летает как часы В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — вавада онлайн [url=https://theblackwellfirm.com]вавада онлайн[/url] Только вавада реально рулит Перешлите тому кто тоже ищет нормальное казино

  14. Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at claritycreatesenergy held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.

  15. Worth recognising that the post handled a familiar topic without reaching for any of the obvious hot takes, and a stop at momentumchannel continued that fresh treatment, sites that find new angles on subjects others have exhausted are sites worth following carefully and this one has clearly developed that exploratory instinct through patient practice.

  16. Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at focuspath produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.

  17. Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to visioncompass continued that consistent feel, when a site reads like one careful person rather than a committee the experience is more rewarding for the reader who notices these subtle editorial details over time.

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

  19. Worth flagging that the writing rewarded a second read more than I expected, and a look at forwardenergyflows 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.

  20. Dinleyin millet Herkes dolandırıcı olmuş resmen Ben de 20’den fazla site denedim Bu gerçekten iyi çalışıyor — bahis siteler 1xbet tercih ediliyor Site çok hızlı ve güvenli Kısacası, her şey detaylı — 1xbet tr [url=https://1xbet-rhy.com]1xbet tr[/url] Sakın sahte sitelere kanma Bahis yapan herkese gönder

  21. Took me back a step or two on an assumption I had been making, and a stop at forwardmovementclarity pushed that reconsideration further, writing that gently corrects the reader without being aggressive about it is a rare diplomatic skill and the team here clearly knows how to land critical points without turning readers off.

  22. Better signal to noise ratio than most places I check on this kind of topic, and a look at bondedtrustline kept that going, every paragraph here carries something worth reading rather than padding out the page to hit some arbitrary length target that search engines reward but readers ignore as soon as they notice it.

  23. Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at securealliance extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.

  24. Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at actionmovesforward 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. Arkadaşlar selam Çoğu site erişim engellendi Her şey hızlı ve güvenli çalışıyor — 1xbet giriş yap hemen Müşteri desteği 7/24 Kısacası, kaydedin bir kenara — 1xbet com giriş [url=https://1xbet-giris-klm.com]1xbet com giriş[/url] Sakın sahte sitelere bulaşma İhtiyacı olan herkese gönder

  26. Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to intentionalforce confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.

  27. Merhaba arkadaşlar Siteler sürekli değişiyor, yeni adres arıyorum Paramı kurtaramadım, sinirlerim bozuldu Ama sonunda bu siteyi keşfettim — 1xbet güncel adres tıkla Çekim dakikalar içinde Neyse, kaybolmasın diye tıkla — 1x giriş [url=https://1xbet-giris-pqx.com]1x giriş[/url] Tek adres 1xbet giriş Bahis yapan herkese yolla

  28. Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at ideasmoveforward 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.

  29. Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at signalturnsideas 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.

  30. Arkadaşlar merhaba Uzun zamandır güvenilir bir bahis sitesi arıyorum Hepsi sahte çıktı Ama sonunda bu siteyi buldum — 1xbet güncel giriş burada Canlı destek gece gündüz aktif Neyse, kaybetmeyin diye tıkla — 1 x bet giriş [url=https://1xbet-giris-zte.com]1 x bet giriş[/url] Tek adres 1xbet giriş Bahis yapan herkese gönder

  31. Bahis severler dikkat Hepsi ya dolandırıcıydı ya da ödemeleri aksatıyordu Bu site gerçekten çalışıyor, her şey hızlı — 1xbet yeni giriş kolay Her gün özel bonus ve promolar mevcut Kısacası, kaydet kenarda dursun — birxbet giriş [url=https://1xbet-giris-bwf.com]birxbet giriş[/url] Sakın sahte sitelere kanma Bahis yapan herkese yolla

  32. Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at forwardtractionformed 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.

  33. A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at claritypowersvelocity confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.

  34. Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at frontlinebond kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.

  35. Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at trendvani 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.

  36. One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at connectbridge 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.

  37. Solid quality, the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim, and a quick look at trustednexus 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.

  38. Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at momentumarchitecture only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.

  39. Worth your time, that is the simplest endorsement I can give, and a stop at bondedtrustway extends that endorsement across the rest of the site, this is one of those increasingly rare places that delivers on what it promises rather than over selling the content and under delivering on substance every time which I find frustrating elsewhere.

  40. Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at integritybondhub 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.

  41. Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at progresswithoutfriction extended that small improvement effect, content that produces measurable positive impact on the texture of a reading day is content with real value and this site is producing those small positive impacts at a sustainable rate apparently.

  42. If quality blog writing is dying as people sometimes claim then this site is one piece of evidence that it has not died yet, and a look at capitaltrustee extended that evidence, the broader cultural question about online writing has empirical answers in specific sites and this one is contributing to a more optimistic answer overall.

  43. Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at unitytrustcircle 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.

  44. Now noticing that the post did not mention the writer at all, focus stayed on the topic, and a look at motionactivation continued that author absent quality, content that disappears the writer to focus on the substance is a particular kind of generosity and this site has clearly chosen the substance over the personality consistently.

  45. A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at capitalunityflow maintained the same self contained quality, content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.

  46. The structure of the post made it easy to follow without losing track of where I was, and a look at growthmovesdecisively kept the same logical flow going, this site clearly understands that organisation is half the battle in keeping readers engaged from the first line to the last across any kind of post.

  47. Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at signalshapesprogress produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.
