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.
Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at clearviewbond 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.
This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at sentinelbond kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.
Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at westwardbond only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.
Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at strongholdbond continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.
Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at resolutebond 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.
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at bondpillar 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.
The lack of unnecessary jargon made the post accessible without sacrificing accuracy, and a look at trustkeystone continued in the same accessible style, technical topics often hide behind specialised vocabulary but here the writer trusts the reader to keep up with plain language and that trust pays off nicely throughout the entire post.
Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at capitallynx maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.
Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at bondline 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.
More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at bondstrength confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.
Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at clicktofindsolutions reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.
A piece that earned its conclusions through the body rather than asserting them at the end, and a look at amberhollow maintained the same earned quality, conclusions that follow from what came before are more persuasive than declarations and this site has clearly internalised that principle in how it constructs arguments throughout pieces.
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at clickforprogress extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.
Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at discovernewdirections 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.
Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at eveningorchard kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.
Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at lunarfieldgoods carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.
Felt the post was written for someone like me without explicitly addressing me, and a look at opalgrainoutlet produced the same fit, when content lands on its target without pandering you know the writer has done careful audience thinking rather than relying on demographic targeting or interest signals to do the work of editorial decisions.
Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at trustcollective 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.
Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at ideasforwardmotion added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.
The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at clickignite 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.
Even across multiple posts the writers voice has remained consistent in a way I appreciate, and a stop at midpointbond continued that voice, sites that maintain editorial consistency across many pieces have something most sites lack and this one has clearly worked out how to keep its voice steady across what reads as a growing archive.
Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at highridgeoutlet continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.
During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at vigilantbond 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.
Found the section structure particularly thoughtful, and a stop at firstanchor 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.
Considered as a whole this site has developed a coherent point of view that comes through in individual pieces, and a look at concordbonding continued displaying that coherence, sites with a unified perspective rather than a grab bag of takes are sites with editorial maturity and this one has clearly developed that maturity through years of work.
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at coreward reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.
Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at northstarbond extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.
Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at lunarharvestmarket 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.
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at quantumbond kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at harborlightmarket continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.
Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at bondhorizon kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.
A piece that read as the work of someone who reads carefully themselves, and a look at mosslightemporium continued that informed feel, writers who are also serious readers produce work with a different quality and this site reads as the product of someone steeped in good writing rather than just generating content for an audience.
Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at lunarbaygoods 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.
Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at sunriftgoods 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.
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 bondstable 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.
Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at bondcapital 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.
I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at integrabond the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.
Decided to write a short note to the author if there is contact info anywhere, and a stop at willowforgeemporium extended that intention, the urge to thank the writer directly is a strong signal of content quality and this site has triggered that urge in me today which is a fairly rare event for my reading.
Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at premiumshoppingzone 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.
Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at createbetteroutcomes extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.
Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to stablegroundbond only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.

Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at emberstoneboutique reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.
Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at quietstoneboutique did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.
Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at bestshoppingchoice 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.
Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at assurancebonded kept the same focused approach going, defensive writing wastes the reader time and confidence on positions that did not need defending and this post has clearly avoided that common failure.
Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at confluencebond 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.
Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at hollowcreekoutlet confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.
Started thinking about my own writing differently after reading, and a look at puretrustbond continued that reflective effect, content that influences how I work rather than just informing what I know is content with the highest kind of impact and this site has triggered some of that reflective influence today on me.
During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at forwardthinkingclick 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.
