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. Worth pointing out that the writing reads as confident without being defensive about it, and a look at bondedvector extended that secure tone, content that does not pre emptively argue against imagined critics has a different quality from defensive writing and this site reads as written from a place of real ease.

  2. Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at emberwildstore added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.

  3. Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at silverlinebond continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.

  4. Glad I gave this a chance rather than scrolling past, and a stop at frontierbond confirmed I made the right call, sometimes the best content is hidden behind unassuming headlines that do not scream for attention and learning to slow down and check those out has paid off many times now across years of reading.

  5. Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at solidgroundbond did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.

  6. Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at sunhavenoutlet pushed me a bit further in the same direction, content that can move a critical reader by argument rather than rhetoric is rare and worth pointing out because it indicates real substance underneath the surface presentation here.

  7. Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at progresscatalyst kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.

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

  10. Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at northloomgoods 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.

  11. Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at pineharborboutique 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.

  12. Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at tandembond reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.

  13. Picked a friend mentally as the audience for this and decided to send the link, and a look at anchorbonding confirmed the send was the right choice, choosing whom to share content with is a small act of curation that I take more seriously than the public sharing most platforms encourage these days online.

  14. Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at businesspower 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.

  15. Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to windstonecollective confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.

  16. Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at linenwild 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.

  17. Solid recommendation from me to anyone working in the area, the perspective here is grounded, and a look at bloomcraftmarket 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.

  18. Found the rhythm of the prose particularly enjoyable on this read through, and a look at infinitebond kept that musical quality going across the related pages, sentence rhythm is something most blog writers ignore but it makes a real difference in how content lands with the careful reader who cares.

  19. Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at ironhollowboutique confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.

  20. Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at coretrustlink expanded the idea even further, the kind of writing that nudges your thinking forward a bit without forcing the issue is exactly what I look for online today and rarely actually find anywhere.

  21. Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at principlebond 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.

  22. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at legacyalloy kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.

  23. Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at progressmoveswithclarity reflected that same care, a rare thing on the open web these days where most pages exist for clicks rather than actual reader value or anything close to that which is honestly a real shame.

  24. Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at ironwavecollective suggested the community quality matches the content quality, when the conversation around a piece is as good as the piece itself you know you have found a real corner of the internet.

  25. Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at keystonevector 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.

  26. Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at eveningtideboutique extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.

  27. Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at surepathbond maintained the same unforced quality, writing that achieves elegance without effort is the highest tier and this site has clearly worked out how to land that effortless quality consistently rather than only on the writers best days.

  28. Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at dynabond 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.

  29. Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at unitybondnetwork suggested the community quality matches the content quality, when the conversation around a piece is as good as the piece itself you know you have found a real corner of the internet.

  30. Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at ideasflowintoaction sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.

  31. Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to signalbuildsdirection earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.

  32. Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at enduringlink 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.

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

  34. Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at dependablebond confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.

  35. Now thinking about whether the writer might publish a longer form work I would buy, and a look at urbanwave suggested the same depth would translate, content that makes me want to pay for related work in other formats is content that has earned commercial trust as well as attention trust and this site has both clearly.

  36. Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at bondedvisiongroup maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.

  37. Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at meritanchor produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.

  38. Worth recognising that this site does not chase the daily news cycle, and a stop at covecanal confirmed the longer publication arc, sites that resist the pressure to comment on every passing event are sites with genuine editorial discipline and this one has clearly chosen depth over volume which I respect deeply.

  39. Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at northernpetalstore added more pages I will mention to them, recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.

  40. Solid value packed into a relatively short post, that takes skill, and a look at inkedmeadow continues the dense useful content across more pages, this site clearly understands that respecting reader time is itself a form of generosity which is something most blog operations seem to have forgotten lately across the wider open web.

  41. Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at crossroadbond extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.

  42. Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at midnightquarry earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.

  43. If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at wildgrainemporium continued earning those high marks, the informal grading I do mentally for content sources is something I take seriously even though it is informal and this site has been receiving consistent high marks across multiple sessions today.

  44. Now considering the post as evidence that careful blog writing is still possible, and a look at covenantbond extended that evidence, the broader question of whether the modern web can sustain quality writing has obvious empirical answers in sites like this one and seeing them is reassuring even when they remain a minority overall today.

  45. Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at wildirisgoods confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.

  46. A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at bluepeaklane extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.

  47. However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at growthforward continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.

  48. Saving the link for sure, this one is a keeper, and a look at moonfallmarket confirmed I should bookmark the entire site rather than just this page, the consistency across what I have seen so far suggests there is a lot more here worth coming back for soon when I have more time.

  49. Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at horizonstone extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.

  50. Skipped the TLDR thinking I would read everything anyway, and ended up enjoying the path through the full post, and a stop at silkroadfinds similarly rewarded the patient read, summaries are useful but the journey through good writing is part of what makes the destination feel earned rather than just delivered cleanly.
