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. Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at jamcall did not change that at all, this is one of the better corners of the open internet for this kind of content and I am glad I clicked through rather than skipping past quickly like I usually do.

  2. Zdravo, ljudje. Preizkusil sem že vse mogoče. Ko gre za ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma — ni šala. Prijatelj mi je svetoval en center, kjer imajo izkušnje. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev centru. Več informacij je na voljo tu: ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma [url=https://alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]https://alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com[/url] Po nekaj tednih sem začutil razliko. Odvisnost od alkohola je bolezen, ne sramota. Ampak ko dobiš strokovno podporo — življenje dobi nov smisel. Vsekakor priporočam vsem, ki se spopadajo s to težavo. Srečno na tej poti!

  3. Ох уж это, человек просто не просыхает. Руки опускаются. Наркологическая клиника с выездом — адекватный вывод из запоя цены указаны. Не шарлатаны какие-то. Короче, смотрите сами по ссылке — вывод из запоя на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]вывод из запоя на дому[/url] Каждая пьянка минус ресурс. Сам через это прошел, чем потом собирать по кускам. Очень советую эту контору.

  4. A piece that read smoothly because the writer understood how readers actually move through prose, and a look at tritonstyle 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.

  5. Нифига себе проблема, родственники маются. Как есть — реальное выведение из запоя без кодировки. Тут тебе не частная лавочка. Между нами, там все подробно расписано — выведение из запоя на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru]выведение из запоя на дому[/url] Хватит надеяться на авось. Лучше один раз дернуться, чем потом скорую вызывать. Проверенный вариант по городу.

  6. Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at jewelcovecommercegallery continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.

  7. Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at coppercoveartisanexchange extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.

  8. Представьте ситуацию, родственники просто в тупике. Ситуация аховая. В этом вопросе очень важно не заниматься самодеятельностью. Я нарыл инфу — качественный вывод из запоя круглосуточно. Там работают толковые врачи. Если честно, актуальный прайс и условия тут — вывод из запоя прайс [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru[/url] Не тяните резину, так как запой убивает почки и сердце. Проверено на себе.

  9. Liked the careful selection of which details to include and which to skip, and a stop at floracovecommerceatelier reflected the same editorial judgement, knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to include and this site has clearly figured out where that line sits for the topics it covers regularly.

  10. Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at dawnmeadowcommercegallery confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.

  11. Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at mooncovemerchantgallery gave me more material for that imagined explanation, content that improves my own ability to discuss a topic is content that has actually transferred knowledge rather than just decorating my screen for a few minutes.

  12. Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at mossharborcraftcollective earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.

  13. Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at tritonsloop 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.

  14. Halfway through I knew I would finish the post, and a stop at frostbrookvendorfoundry also held me through to the end, content that signals its quality early and then sustains it is content with real internal consistency and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain quality from opening sentence through to closing thought.

  15. Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at goodsflexstore produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.

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

  17. 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 scarabvogue I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.

  18. Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at huskgenie kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.

  19. Now thinking about whether the writer might publish a longer form work I would buy, and a look at opalriverartisanexchange 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.

  20. Thanks for keeping things clear and to the point, that is honestly hard to find online these days, and after reading through izoblade the message stayed consistent which makes me trust the information being shared more than I usually do on similar pages that cover this same kind of topic.

  21. Really appreciate that the writer did not stretch the post to hit some target word count, the points end when they are made, and a stop at vyxarc reflected the same discipline, brevity is generosity in disguise and this site has clearly figured that out far better than most blog operations have.

  22. Сил уже нет, родственники на нервах. Что делать — непонятно. Наркологическая клиника с выездом — срочный вывод из запоя без лишних вопросов. Не шарлатаны какие-то. Короче, там все по полочкам — нарколог на дом вывод из запоя на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]нарколог на дом вывод из запоя на дому[/url] Организм не вывозит. Лучше решить проблему сейчас, чем потом собирать по кускам. Очень советую эту контору.

  23. Да уж, человек просто в штопоре. Как есть — реальное выведение из запоя без кодировки. Тут тебе не частная лавочка. Короче говоря, вот нормальный расклад — снятие запоя цена [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru[/url] Печень вообще молчит. Лучше один раз дернуться, чем труп из квартиры выносить. Проверенный вариант по городу.

  24. During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at jamkix extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.

  25. Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at serifsorbet reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.

  26. Pozdravljeni. Že dolgo sem iskal resnično rešitev. Ko gre za odvajanje od alkohola — veliko ljudi se muči v tišini. Prijatelj mi je svetoval en center, kjer ne obetajo nemogočega. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev. Vse podrobnosti in izkušnje drugih ljudi najdete tukaj: Dr Vorobjev [url=www.alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]www.alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com[/url] Najboljša odločitev, kar sem jih kdaj sprejel. Odvisnost od alkohola je bolezen, ne sramota. Ampak ko vidiš, da nisi sam — vse postane lažje. Če kdo dvomi, naj kar pokliče in vpraša. Srečno na tej poti!

  27. Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at reliableshoppinghub 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.

  28. Представьте ситуацию, многие не знают как быть. Каждые выходные одно и то же. В этом вопросе очень важно не слушать советы алконавтов из подворотни. Посмотрите сами — вывод из запоя на дому. Ребята реально шарят. Короче, актуальный прайс и условия тут — снятие запоя цена [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru[/url] Промедление смерти подобно, так как алкоголь — это яд. Проверено на себе.

  29. Once you find a site like this the search for similar voices begins, and a look at nightorchardmerchantgallery extended the search energy, finding a high quality reference point makes the gap between it and adjacent sources visible in a way it was not before and this site has provided that high reference point across multiple recent visits.

  30. Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at veilshrine 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.

  31. изучение китайского [url=crimeapress.info/kitayskiy-yazyk-s-nulya-polnoe-rukovodstvo-dlya-teh-kto-reshil-nachat-izuchenie/]изучение китайского[/url]

  32. Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at floraridgevendoratelier stretched the morning further, content that pulls breakfast into a reading session rather than just accompanying it is content that has earned a higher claim on my attention than the average article does.

  33. Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at rivercovecraftcollective added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.

  34. Že kar nekaj časa spremljam to temo. Ko sem prvič slišal za odvajanje od alkohola po metodi Dr Vorobjeva, sem bil neveren. Ampak ko sem videl rezultate — moje mnenje se je obrnilo. Alkoholizem uničuje družine. In najhuje je, da ne poznajo dobrih možnosti zdravljenja. Zato svetujem, da si vzamete čas in preberete posodobljene podatke, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: Dr Vorobjev center [url=http://alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]http://alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com[/url]. Več o tem si preberite na spodnji povezavi.

    Meni je ta pristop pomagal. Če vas to zanima — vzemite si čas in preberite. Srečno vsem na tej poti!

  35. Reading this with a notebook open turned out to be the right move, and a stop at goldencovecraftcollective added more material to the notes, content that justifies active note taking from a passive reader is content with real informational density and this site is producing notes worthy material at a high rate consistently.

  36. A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at opalmeadowcommercegallery extended that reassurance, the modern web makes it easy to forget that careful writing exists and finding sites that practice it is a small antidote to the cynicism that builds up from too much exposure to algorithmic content.

  37. Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at nightorchardartisanexchange 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.

  38. Reading this felt easy in the best way, no friction and no confusion at any point, and a stop at goodshubonline carried that same comfort across more pages, the kind of editorial flow that lets you absorb information without fighting the format which is increasingly hard to find on the open web today across topics.

  39. Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at driftwillowcommercegallery continued that agreement pattern, content that aligns with my existing views without seeming designed to do so is just content that happens to be reasonable and this site reads as reasonable rather than ideological mostly.

  40. Strong recommendation, anyone interested in this topic owes themselves a visit, and a stop at orchardharborcraftcollective 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.

  41. Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at storkumber maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.

  42. Сил уже нет, человек просто не просыхает. Что делать — непонятно. Проверенный вариант — качественный вывод из запоя на дому. Ребята знают свое дело. Короче, вот вам информация — срочный вывод из запоя на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru[/url] Не ждите чуда. Сам через это прошел, чем хоронить близкого. Очень советую эту контору.

  43. Да уж, родственники маются. Как есть — адекватный вывод из запоя цены и условия. Ребята работают чисто. Короче говоря, вот нормальный расклад — вывод из запоя цена [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru]вывод из запоя цена[/url] Печень вообще молчит. Поверьте моему опыту, чем труп из квартиры выносить. Проверенный вариант по городу.

  44. Different feel from the algorithmically optimised posts that dominate the topic, and a stop at daheko 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.

  45. 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 jamsyx 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.

  46. Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at digitalbuyarena 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.

  47. Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at japarrow produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.

  48. Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at haclex suggested I will mention this site again later, recommending content into a workplace context is a small editorial act that requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those recommendations consistently here too.

  49. Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at tailorteal did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.
