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. Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at momentumshift continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.

  2. I appreciate the clarity here, everything is explained in simple terms without unnecessary detail, and after a quick stop at creativepulse the points came together nicely for me, the writing keeps things straightforward and respects the reader from start to finish without ever talking down to anyone.

  3. Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at trustbonded earned the same patient approach, content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.

  5. Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at bondedoutlook reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.

  6. Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at clarityremovesfriction added more material I will pass along too, the impulse to share is the strongest signal I have for content quality and this site is generating that impulse cleanly across multiple posts.

  7. Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at bondedtrustcore 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.

  8. Decided I would read the archives over the weekend, and a stop at clovebow confirmed that the archives would be worth the time, very few sites have archives I would actively read through but this one has earned that level of interest based on the consistent quality across what I have sampled so far.

  9. Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at forwardmotionclarified kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.

  10. 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 motionstrategy 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.

  11. Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on trustanchorpoint I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.

  12. Different feel from the algorithmically optimised posts that dominate the topic, and a stop at bondedgrowthcircle reinforced that human touch, you can tell when a site is being run by someone who reads what they publish versus someone just hitting submit and moving on quickly to the next assignment without checking the result.

  13. Probably going to mention this site in a write up I am working on later this month, and a stop at anchorunity provided more material for that potential mention, content worth referencing in my own published work rather than just personal reading is content with the highest endorsement level and this site has earned that endorsement.

  14. Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at actioncreatesresultsnow added a bit more context that helped tie things together for me, definitely a useful corner of the internet for anyone who wants real information without the usual marketing nonsense around it that often ruins similar pages.

  15. Thanks for keeping the writing direct without losing the warmth that makes content feel human, and a stop at progresswithclaritynow carried both qualities forward, balancing professionalism and personality is a rare skill and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently land it across many posts which I notice.

  16. Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at progressbuildsmomentum continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.

  17. Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward, and a stop at directionalmap 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.

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

  19. Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at focusdrivenclarity earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.

  20. Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at claritybridge kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.

  21.

  22. Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at progressmomentum kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.

  23. Reading this felt productive in a way most internet reading does not, and a look at bondedcore continued that productive feeling, sometimes the open web feels like a waste of time but sites like this remind me why I still bother to look around rather than retreating to old reliable sources for everything I need.

  25. Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at progressbuildsforward similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.

  26. Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at claritydrivesprogress pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.

  27. Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at clarityactivation kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.

  28. Strong recommendation, anyone interested in this topic owes themselves a visit, and a stop at sharedpath extends that recommendation across more of the site, this is the kind of resource that makes me more optimistic about the state of the open web than I usually am these days actually for once which is genuinely refreshing.

  29. A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at trustvault 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.

  30. Reading this triggered a small change in how I think about the topic going forward, and a stop at visionmapping reinforced that subtle shift, the rare content that actually moves my thinking rather than just confirming or filling it is the kind I most value and this site is providing that kind of impact today.

  31. Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at trustfoundry reinforces that, the kind of generous resource that makes the open web feel worth defending against the constant pressure to retreat into walled gardens and curated feeds today everywhere I look across all my devices.

  32. Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at focuslane continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.

  33. Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at ideafocus extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.

  34. Honestly enjoyed not being sold anything for the entire duration of the post, and a look at focusguidesgrowth 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.

  35. My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at trustaxis pulled me back a third time, the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.

  36. Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at clarityfollowsfocus reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.

  37. Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at trustedharborbond also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.

  38. A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at signalcreatesfocus 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.

  39. Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at ideasunlockvelocity 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.

  40. Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward, and a stop at signalactivatesdirection 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.

  41. Felt the post handled a sensitive angle of the topic with appropriate care, and a look at bondedconnections extended that careful handling across related material, sites that can navigate delicate territory without causing damage are rare and require a level of judgement that comes from experience rather than from following any clear playbook.

  42. Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at clutchbulb produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.

  43. Spent a few minutes here and came away with a clearer picture of the topic, the writing keeps things simple without dumbing them down, and after a stop at creativepath the rest of the points lined up neatly which is something I appreciate when I am short on time and need answers fast.

  44. Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at securebonding 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.

  45. Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at progresssystem kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to and probably mentioning to others who work in or care about this particular area of interest today and in coming weeks.

  46. Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online, and a stop at highlandbond kept the same clean approach going, this is the kind of writing that respects the reader’s time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.

  47. Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at clarityconstructor continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.

  48. Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at bondedprime continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.

  49. Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at motionoptimizer added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.
