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. Useful read, especially because the writer did not assume too much background from the reader, and a quick look at heritagealliance continued in the same way, a thoughtful site that meets people where they are which is something the modern web could use a lot more of for both casual and serious readers.

  2. Genuinely changed how I think about a small piece of the topic, which does not happen often online, and a look at firmusbond added another nudge in the same direction, the kind of writing that earns a small mental shift rather than just confirming what you already thought before reading is a sign of careful thought.

  3. Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at smartzone only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.

  4. If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at growthmovesintentionally reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.

  5. Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at ideasfinddirection extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.

  6. Without overstating it this is a quietly excellent post, and a look at sharedfuturebond extended that quiet excellence, content that earns superlatives without demanding them through marketing language is content that has truly earned them through the substance and this site has clearly produced work in that earned excellence category today.

  7. Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at focusbuildspathways added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.

  8. Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at ideascreatevelocity added a few more I will be testing alongside, content with practical hooks that connect to my actual life is the kind that earns my repeat attention rather than the merely interesting that I forget within a day.

  9. Quality writing that respects the reader’s intelligence without overloading them, and a quick look at actionpathway reflected that approach, a balanced thoughtful site that earns trust by being consistent rather than by shouting about how trustworthy it is which is the usual approach online sadly across most content categories.

  10. Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me, and a stop at motionguidance continued displaying that sensibility, content that reveals editorial choices through accumulated reading is content with structural quality and this site has clearly developed an underlying approach worth identifying through multiple sessions of reading.

  11. Considered alongside other sources I have been reading this one consistently rises to the top, and a stop at unifiedtrusthub 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.

  12. Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at focussetsdirection confirmed that comparison, the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.

  13. Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at foundationlynx extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.

  14. Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at capitalbridge drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.

  15. Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at directionamplifiesgrowth 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.

  16. Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at focusamplifiesmotion suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.

  17. Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at capitalties 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.

  18. Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at directionengine reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.

  19. Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at actionlogic 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.

  20. Solid post, the structure is easy to follow and the language stays simple even when the topic gets a bit more involved, and a look at focusunlocksmotion kept that same standard going, so I left feeling like the time spent here was actually worth something for once which is rare lately.

  21. Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at trendvilo reinforced that impression, the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.

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

  23. Started forming counter examples to test the claims and the post handled most of them implicitly, and a look at motionclarity continued that anticipatory style, writers who think two steps ahead of the critical reader save themselves from a lot of follow up work and this writer has clearly internalised that habit consistently.

  24. A piece that read smoothly because the writer understood how readers actually move through prose, and a look at measuredtrust maintained the same reader awareness, writers who think about the reading experience as much as the writing experience produce better work and this site has clearly made that shift in editorial approach.

  26. Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me, and a stop at strategyvector continued displaying that sensibility, content that reveals editorial choices through accumulated reading is content with structural quality and this site has clearly developed an underlying approach worth identifying through multiple sessions of reading.

  27. Decided to read this site for a while before forming a verdict, and the verdict after several pages is positive, and a stop at globalconnect continued that pattern, judging a site requires more than one post and giving sites a fair sample is something I try to do for promising candidates rather than rushing to dismiss.

  30. Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at progressmoveswithsignal 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.

  31. Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at bondedcontinuum 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.

  32. Worth saying that this is one of the better things I have read on the topic in months, and a stop at forwardmotionstabilized reinforced that ranking, the topic is well covered by many sources but few do it with this level of care and the few that do deserve to be flagged so other readers can find them.

  33. Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at actiondefinespath added more material I will pass along, recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.

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

  35. Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at bondednetwork 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.

  36. Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to unityframework 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.

  37. Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at intentionalmovement carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.

  38. If I am being honest this is the kind of site I quietly hope my own work will someday resemble, and a stop at brightfuture extended that aspirational feeling, finding work that models what I want to produce is part of why I read carefully and this site has been performing that modelling function for me lately consistently.

  39. Quietly the writers approach to the topic differs from the dominant takes I have been encountering, and a stop at actionsetsdirection extended that distinctive approach, content that maintains a different perspective without explicitly arguing against the dominant ones is content with confident editorial identity and this site has that confidence throughout pieces.

  40. Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at anchorcapitalbond 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.

  41. The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at ideasbuildmomentum kept that focused approach going, discipline like this in writing is rare and worth recognising because most writers cannot resist wandering off into related subjects that dilute their main point and confuse readers along the way.

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

  43. Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at capitalunity kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.

  44. Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at eliteharbor extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.

  45. Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at enduringalliances suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.

  46. Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at bondedcoregroup reinforced that plan, choosing the right moment to read certain content is a quiet form of respect for the work and this site is generating those careful planning behaviours from me consistently as a reader.

  47. Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at clarityspark 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.

  48. Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at heritagebridge prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.

  49. Now noticing that the post did not mention the writer at all, focus stayed on the topic, and a look at signaldrivesaction 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.
