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. Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to discoverbetterpaths reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.

  2. Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at actionpoweredpath maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.

  3. This one is staying open in a tab for the rest of the day so I can come back and re read certain parts, and a look at velourvalley suggests I will be doing the same with a few more pages here too, this is going to be a deep dive over the coming hours.

  4. Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at directionfirstnow only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.

  5. Skipped the related links section thinking I had read enough and then came back to it later when curiosity got the better of me, and a stop at shopcurve confirmed I should have just read it first, every section of this site appears to deserve careful attention rather than skipping past lazily.

  6. Reading this as part of my evening winding down routine fit perfectly, and a stop at easyshoppingplace extended the wind down nicely, content that calms rather than agitates is what I want at the end of the day and this site provides that calming reading experience reliably which is increasingly rare across the modern web.

  7. Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at bondnoble 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.

  8. Probably going to mention this site in a write up I am working on later this month, and a stop at modernpurchasehub 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.

  9. Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at totalshoppingcenter the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.

  10. Now thinking the topic is more interesting than I had given it credit for, and a stop at premiumshoppingzone continued that elevated interest, content that revives my curiosity about subjects I had set aside is doing genuine work in the structure of my interests and this site is providing that revivifying effect today actually.

  11. Glad I clicked through from where I did because this turned out to be worth the time spent, and after valuebuyingpoint I had a fuller picture, the kind of content that earns its visitors through delivering value rather than chasing them through aggressive advertising or constant pop ups appearing everywhere on the screen lately.

  12. Grateful for posts like this one, they remind me there are still places online run by people who care about quality, and a look at simplebuyingworld reflected the same standards, you can tell the difference between content made for readers and content made just for search engines today and this is the former.

  13. Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at modernpurchasehub confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.

  14. Genuine reaction is that I will probably think about this on and off for a few days, and a look at learnandimprovefast added fuel to that, the best content lingers in your head after you close the tab rather than evaporating immediately and this site clearly knows how to write that kind of memorable content.

  15. Came in confused about the topic and left with a much firmer grasp on it, and after reprtgeneralshub I felt I could explain this to someone else without hesitation, that is the gold standard for any educational content and most sites simply fail to reach it ever which is unfortunate but true.

  16. Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at discoverprofessionalgrowth maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.

  17. Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at velvetpinegoods maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.

  18. Люди помогите советом Муж просто умирает на глазах Дети боятся заходить в комнату Скорая не приедет на такой вызов Короче, врачи стационара реально вытащили — запой стационар с комфортными условиями Выписали через неделю здоровым В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — цена вывода из запоя в стационаре [url=https://narkolog.vyvod-iz-zapoya-v-stacionare-samara11.ru]https://narkolog.vyvod-iz-zapoya-v-stacionare-samara11.ru[/url] Стационар — это единственный выход Это может спасти жизнь

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

  20. Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at exploregrowthideas 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.

  21. Now considering the post as evidence that careful blog writing is still possible, and a look at flexibleshoppingoutlet 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.

  22. Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at builddigitalgrowthpaths extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.

  23. Honest reaction is that this is the kind of writing I would defend in a conversation about good blog content, and a look at futurefocusedshopping reinforced that, the rare site whose work I would actively recommend rather than just tolerate is the kind I want to support through return visits regularly.

  24. A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at modernretailplatform extended that satisfaction, the metaphor between content and meals is one I find useful and this site reads as a satisfying meal rather than the empty calories that most content provides for casual readers.

  25. During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at actiondrivenpath 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.

  26. Now wishing I had found this site sooner, and a look at modernretailbuyinghub extended that mild regret, the calculation of how many years of good content I missed by not finding the right sources earlier is one I try not to make too often but it does come up sometimes when I find sites this good.

  27. During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at learnandscaleintelligently continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.

  28. Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at discoverbetterapproaches continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.

  29. Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at clicktolearnandgrow 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.

  30. The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at trustedpartnershipframework kept that focused approach going, discipline like this in writing is rare and worth recognising because most writers cannot resist wandering off into related subjects that dilute their main point and confuse readers along the way.

  31. A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at clicktolearnstrategically maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.

  32. A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at bondunity 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.

  33. Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at globalbuyingmarket 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.

  34. Здорова, народ Близкий человек уже две недели в запое Жена рыдает В диспансер тащить — последнее дело Короче, единственные кто взялся за безнадёжный случай — вывод из запоя самара стационар с палатой Врачи и медсёстры 24/7 В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — быстрый вывод из запоя в стационаре [url=https://alkogolizm.vyvod-iz-zapoya-v-stacionare-samara.ru]https://alkogolizm.vyvod-iz-zapoya-v-stacionare-samara.ru[/url] Стационар — это единственный выход Перешлите тем кто в беде

  35. Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at trusteddealstore extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.

  36. A piece that read as the work of someone who reads carefully themselves, and a look at everydaydealshop 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.

  37. Honest opinion is that this is the kind of post that builds long term trust with readers, and a look at nextgenshoppinghub reinforced that perception, the slow accumulation of trust through consistent quality is the only sustainable way to build a real audience and this site is clearly playing that long game.

  38. If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at longtermbusinesspartnerships extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.

  39. Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at trustedshoppingzone extended that wish across more subjects, the rarity of careful coverage on most topics is a problem and this site is one of the small antidotes to that broader pattern of casual or surface treatment of complex subjects.

  40. A piece that did not try to be timeless and ended up reading as durable anyway, and a look at valuebuyingpoint extended that durable feel, content that stays useful past its publication date without straining for permanence is content that ages well and this site has the kind of evergreen quality that I value highly today.

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

  42. Now wishing I had found this site sooner, and a look at stockmrtktlite extended that mild regret, the calculation of how many years of good content I missed by not finding the right sources earlier is one I try not to make too often but it does come up sometimes when I find sites this good.

  43. Appreciated how the post felt complete without overstaying its welcome, and a stop at everydaybuyinghub confirmed that economical approach runs across the site, knowing when to stop is a skill many writers never develop but here the discipline is obvious and welcome from the perspective of a busy reader trying to learn things efficiently.

  44. Now recognising the editorial wisdom of letting some questions remain open at the end, and a look at easypurchasecenter 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.

  46. Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at trusteddealmarketplace confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.

  47. Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at globaltrustpartnerships extended that quiet win, the cumulative effect of small reading wins versus the cumulative effect of small reading losses is real over time and this site is contributing to the wins side of that ledger.

  48. Слушайте кто сталкивался Ситуация критическая Дети напуганы Нужна срочная помощь на дому Короче, только это реально спасло — вывести из запоя на дому срочно Через пару часов человек пришёл в себя В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — нарколог на дом вывод из запоя на дому [url=https://lechenie-7so.vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru]нарколог на дом вывод из запоя на дому[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  49. Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at discovergrowthframeworks 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.

  50. Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at quiettidegoods added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.
