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. Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at clickfornewideas closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.

  2. Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at pathclick only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.

  3. I usually skim posts like these but this one held my attention all the way through, and a stop at techgambuzz did the same, that is a strong endorsement coming from me because I am usually quick to bounce when content gets repetitive or fails to deliver on its initial promise made in the headline.

  4. Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at secureonlinebuyingplace extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.

  5. Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at digitalbuyingzone added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.

  6. Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at securestrategicbonds extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.

  7. Зависаю на 888starz месяца три, так что накидаю без прикрас. Попал сюда по совету знакомого, особо не ждал ничего, но в итоге залип. Сама регистрация заняла минуты три — пару полей и всё, верификацию попросили только перед первым выводом. Минималка копеечный, я закинул с мелочи, чтобы осмотреться.

    Насчёт слотов тут разгуляться есть где — по ощущениям тысячи слотов тайтлов. Студии которым доверяешь: Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play’n GO, плюс Yggdrasil и Betsoft. Чаще всего гоняю Gates of Olympus и Sweet Bonanza, под настроение захожу в Book of Dead. Отдельно отмечу лайв-казино от Evolution — реальные крупье, их game show весело, хотя на дистанции казна казино не дремлет.

    С акциями адекватно: стартовый бонус на первый деп и ещё фриспины. Условия отыгрыша правда х40, поэтому считайте заранее — я по первости не вкурил и подарок сгорел. Если интересно свежие условия и рабочие бонусы лучше посмотреть на [url=https://888stars6.com/apk]888 starz apk[/url] прежде чем заводить деньги, инфа не протухшая. Периодически прилетает небольшой ноудеп, но это ловите по акциям.

    Вывод денег это самое важное, и тут порядок. Методов навалом: Visa, Mastercard, Skrill и Neteller, само собой крипта. Крипта прилетает почти сразу, фиат дольше. Недавно заказал — деньги пришли за полчаса. Что бесит — иногда просят допверификацию, разово было.

    Мобилка отдельная тема: есть apk под андроид, под iOS через профиль нормально. Скачать можно через зеркало, если лень качать работает шустро. Техподдержка на связи 24/7, по-русски обычно за пару минут. Лицензия Кюрасао — для такого казино нормально. В общем играю дальше, 888starz свою нишу занял, хотя звёзд с неба не хватает.

  8. В наличии широкий выбор типоразмеров: ширина от 13 до 32 мм и толщина от 0,5 до 1,0 мм.

  9. Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to momentumbuilder I was even more certain of that, this site checks out which is something I value highly when so many places online play loose with the facts to chase a quick click.

  10. Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at strategicunitypartnerships 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.

  11. Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at globalshoppinginfrastructure added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.

  12. Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at exploreprofessionaldevelopment kept that comfortable middle ground going, finding a tone that respects the reader without becoming distant or overly familiar is harder than it sounds and this site nails that balance consistently across many different pieces.

  13. Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at startyourgrowthjourney took me even further into the site, the kind of organic exploration that good content invites is something most sites kill through aggressive interlinking and pushy navigation choices rather than relying on quality.

  14. Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at discovergrowthopportunities 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. Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at clicktofindbusinessclarity confirmed it deserves the spot, my regular reading list is short and well curated and adding to it requires meeting a fairly high quality bar that this site has clearly cleared without much effort apparently.

  16. Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at reliableonlinecommerce maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.

  17. Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at trustedbuyingsolutions extended that careful sharing impulse, content worth sharing carefully rather than spamming is content that has earned a higher kind of recommendation and this site has earned that careful shareability throughout pieces.

  18. Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at clicktoexpandknowledgebase reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.

  19. Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at buildyourdigitalpath only sharpens that recommendation further, the kind of resource that holds up against careful scrutiny rather than crumbling at the first critical question is rare and worth pointing other people toward when the topic comes up.

  20. Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at trustedpartnershipframework extended that adjustment, content that affects my structural understanding rather than just my factual knowledge is content with deeper impact and this site is providing those structural updates at a meaningful rate consistently across topics.

  21. A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at flexibleshoppingmart continued that calibration, alignment between promise and delivery is a basic editorial virtue that many sites fail at and this site has clearly mastered the matching of expectation and substance throughout pieces.

  22. Люди подскажите Объездил кучу салонов — везде перекупы То кромка отваливается через месяц Короче, единственные кто не наваривается — кухни официальный сайт каталог с проектами Кромка немецкая В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — заказать кухню по индивидуальному проекту [url=https://zakazat-kuhnyu-ktv.ru]заказать кухню по индивидуальному проекту[/url] Проверяйте производителя по этому списку Перешлите тому кто ищет

  23. Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at gameswithufabet 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.

  24. Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at trustedcommercialnetwork similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.

  25. Now realising the post has been quietly doing important work in my mind for the past hour, and a stop at clicktoadvanceforward extended that quiet processing, content that continues to do work after I close the tab is content with afterlife in the mind and this site is producing those long lived effects at a meaningful rate.

  26. Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at wildmapleemporium continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.

  27. Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at tectotechnologynewzz maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.

  28. Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at explorefuturedirections kept the same level going, consistency like this across a site is the marker of a serious operation rather than a casual side project running on autopilot somewhere else.

  29. Came away with some new perspectives I had not considered before, and after discovergrowthframeworks those ideas felt more complete, the kind of content that stays with you a little while after reading rather than slipping out the moment you switch tabs and move on with your day to whatever comes next.

  30. Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at findbetterstrategies similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.

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

  32. Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at enterpriseunityframework 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.

  33. Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at shopzenith produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.

  34. Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at valuebasedshoppingonline 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.

  35. Питер, всем привет Объездил кучу салонов — везде перекупы То сроки по полгода Короче, нашел наконец нормальное производство — кухни на заказ спб с установкой Замер на следующий день В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — заказать кухню в спб от производителя недорого [url=https://kuhni-spb-lvk.ru]https://kuhni-spb-lvk.ru[/url] Не ведитесь на салоны-прокладки Сам мучался теперь делюсь

  36. Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at growwithrightchoices extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.

  37. Люди помогите советом Продаваны врут про материалы То фасады кривые Короче, единственные кто не наваривается — купить кухню в спб с доставкой Кромка немецкая В общем, вся инфа вот здесь — купить кухню спб недорого [url=https://zakazat-kuhnyu-mrx.ru]https://zakazat-kuhnyu-mrx.ru[/url] Проверяйте производителя по этому списку Перешлите тому кто ищет

  38.

  39. Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at globalenterprisealliances continued that honest feel, content built on actual knowledge rather than aggregated summaries is something I value highly and rarely come across in regular searches on the open internet these days.

  40. Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at globalbusinessalliances reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.

  41. Bookmark earned, calendar reminder set, share queued, all from one good post, and a look at buildforwardsteps did the same, when a single reading session triggers multiple downstream actions you know the content has actually moved me beyond the page and this site is moving me at that higher level reliably.

  42. Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to discoverstrategicoptions kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.

  43. Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at trusteddealmarketplace extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.

  44. Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at gamingproject kept me at my desk longer than planned, when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.

  45. Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at discoverhiddenpaths extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.

  46. Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at learnfuturefocusedskills extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.

  47. Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at globalcommercialalliances extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.

  48. Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to learnandgrowdigitally I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.

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

  50. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at businessrelationshipplatform only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.
