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.






However measured this site clears the bar I set for sites I take seriously, and a stop at capitaltrusthub continued clearing that bar, the metrics I use for site quality are admittedly informal but they are consistent and this site has cleared them on multiple measurements across multiple visits which is meaningful for my evaluation.
A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at directionalclarity maintained the same careful design, technical choices about typography are part of what makes online reading actually comfortable and this site has clearly invested in the design layer alongside the content layer carefully.
More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at directionlogic kept that quality consistent, this is one of those sites where the writing actually rewards careful reading rather than punishing the patient reader with empty filler stretched out across long paragraphs that say very little.
Decided this was the best thing I had read all morning, and a stop at unitycatalyst kept that ranking intact, ranking my reading is something I do mentally throughout the day and the top rank is competitive and not easily won but this site won it without needing to overstate its claims for that.
Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at bondedvisions earned the same investment, time spent on quality content is rarely wasted but the reverse is also true and learning which sites deserve which kind of attention is part of being a careful online reader.
Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at focusunlocksprogress continued earning that credit, the calibration of how much trust to extend after limited exposure is something I do carefully and this site has earned more trust on shorter exposure than most due to consistent quality across.
A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at bondedcapitalist 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.
Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at trustcoregroup pulled me deeper into the site than I planned, the writing has a way of holding attention without resorting to manipulative cliffhangers or vague promises that never get delivered later down the page.
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 progressflowsforward 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.
Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at directionclarifiesaction 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.
Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at claritycreatesflow extended that gratitude, the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.
Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at momentumflow provided ammunition for a third share, content that suits multiple audiences without being generic enough to be useless to any of them is genuinely valuable and this site has that multi audience quality clearly.
My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at directionaldrive maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.
Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at growthcraft 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.
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at visionforward kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.
Now feeling the quiet pleasure of finding writing that takes itself seriously without being self serious, and a stop at ideascreatepathways extended that subtle pleasure, the gap between earnest and pretentious is fine and this site has clearly chosen to land on the earnest side without slipping over into pretentious which is impressive.
Now recognising the editorial wisdom of letting some questions remain open at the end, and a look at actioncreatesvelocity continued that intellectual honesty, content that does not force closure on contested questions is content that respects the limits of knowledge and this site has clearly developed the maturity to know when to leave space.
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 focusalignment 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.
Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at stonebridgecapital kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.
During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at trustcircle extended that perfect fit into the rest of the routine, content that matches the rhythm of how I actually read rather than demanding accommodation from my schedule is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has it.
Reading this prompted a brief but useful conversation with a colleague who happened to walk by, and a stop at unitykeystone extended that conversational seed, content that becomes a starting point for in person discussion rather than ending in solitary reading is content with social generative energy and this site has plenty of it apparently.
The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at bondedalliance kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.
A piece that did not lecture even when it had clear positions, and a look at strategymap maintained the same teaching without preaching tone, finding the line between informing and lecturing is hard and most sites land on the wrong side of it but this one has clearly figured out how to inform without becoming preachy.
Found the section structure particularly thoughtful, and a stop at kavqaro suggested the same care across the broader site, structural choices guide the reader through the material in ways most people do not consciously notice but feel the absence of when those choices are made carelessly or not at all.
Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at signalclarifiesaction extended that fresh treatment, content that finds underexplored corners of well covered subjects is genuinely valuable and this site has demonstrated that exploratory editorial approach across multiple pieces in my reading sessions today.
Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at digitalspark extended the pleasant evening reading, content that fits the tone of relaxed time without becoming forgettable is what I look for in evening reading and this site has the right tone for that particular slot in my daily reading routine.
A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at directionguidesmotion continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.
My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at bondedfuturepath extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.
Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at dreamcreator extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.
Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at unitybondworks added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.
Really thankful for posts that respect a reader’s time, this one does, and a quick look at bondedharvest was the same, no need to scroll through endless intros just to get to the actual content, that approach alone is enough reason to come back here regularly for the kind of writing offered.
This actually answered the question I had been searching for, and after I checked growthunlockedforward I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed, that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.
Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at bondedlegacy 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.
Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to visionengine only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.

Honestly this was a good read, no jargon and no padding, and a short look at growthframework kept that same feel going which I really appreciated, the writer clearly knows the topic well enough to explain it without hiding behind big words or filler that often gets used to seem clever.
Useful reading material, the kind I can hand off to someone newer to the topic without worrying about confusing them, and a quick look at capitalbondgroup confirmed the same beginner friendly tone runs throughout the site which is great for sharing with people just starting their learning journey on this particular topic.
Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at focusdefinesdirection hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.
If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at capitalbondworks 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.
Useful reading material, the kind I can hand off to someone newer to the topic without worrying about confusing them, and a quick look at actiondirection confirmed the same beginner friendly tone runs throughout the site which is great for sharing with people just starting their learning journey on this particular topic.
Appreciated the way each section connected smoothly to the next without abrupt jumps, and a stop at growthmovesclearly kept that flow going nicely, transitions are something most blog writers ignore but the difference is huge for the reader who is trying to follow a sustained line of thought today across many different topics.
Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at focuscreatesmomentum held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.
Useful read, especially because the writer did not assume too much background from the reader, and a quick look at mutualaxis 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.
Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at claritystrategy 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.
Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at progresslane pulled me deeper into the site than I planned, the writing has a way of holding attention without resorting to manipulative cliffhangers or vague promises that never get delivered later down the page.
Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at strategyalignment confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.
Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at directionguidesaction prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.
Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at forwardmotiondefined provided ammunition for a third share, content that suits multiple audiences without being generic enough to be useless to any of them is genuinely valuable and this site has that multi audience quality clearly.
A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at claritysystem maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.
