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 coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at globalvaluebuyingstore only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.

  2. A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at buildfuturefocusedpaths produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.

  3. Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at discoverprofessionalgrowth continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.

  4. Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at corporatetrustnetwork 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.

  5. Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at discoveractionableideas extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.

  6. Thanks for putting in the work to make this approachable, plenty of sites cover the same ground but most do it badly, and a quick visit to longtermvaluealliances confirmed this one stands apart, simple language and useful examples without anyone trying to sell me anything along the way which I really appreciated.

  7. A genuine pleasure to find a site that publishes at a sustainable cadence rather than chasing the daily content treadmill, and a look at longtermcommercialbonds confirmed the careful publication rhythm, sites that prioritise quality over frequency are rare and this one has clearly chosen the slower pace which I appreciate as a reader.

  8. Здорова, народ Отец не выходит из штопора Жена в истерике В больницу тащить страшно Короче, единственное что вытащило из запоя — вывод из запоя недорого и эффективно Приехали через 40 минут В общем, телефон и цены тут — вывод из запоя нарколог 24 [url=https://kapelnicza.vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-sankt-peterburg.ru]https://kapelnicza.vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-sankt-peterburg.ru[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  9. Really appreciate the absence of stock photos that have nothing to do with the content, and a quick visit to onlineconsumerbuying maintained the same restraint, visual filler is a tell that the writing cannot stand on its own and the lack of it here suggests the team has confidence in their content quality alone.

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

  11. Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at explorefuturedirections kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.

  12. Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through discoverbetterapproaches I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

  13. Really appreciate that the writer did not overstate the importance of the topic to make the post feel weightier, and a quick visit to strategicunitypartnerships maintained the same modest framing, content that is honest about its own scope rather than inflating itself is the kind I trust and return to repeatedly over time.

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

  15. Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at easyonlinepurchasecenter confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.

  16. Top quality material, deserves more attention than it probably gets, and a look at globalretailcommercehub reflected the same effort across the site, a hidden gem in the modern web where most attention goes to whoever shouts loudest rather than whoever actually delivers the best content for their readers without much marketing fanfare.

  17. Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at learnsomethinguseful did not lower that bar at all, in fact it confirmed the impression, this is the kind of consistency that earns a place in regular rotation for serious readers instead of casual scrollers passing through.

  18. Now adjusting my expectations upward for the topic based on this post, and a stop at clickforbetterdecisions continued that bar raising effect, content that resets what I think is possible on a subject is doing real work in shaping my standards and this site is providing those bar raising experiences at a notable rate during sessions.

  19. Looking back on this reading session it stands as one of the better ones recently, and a look at simpleecommercesolutions extended that ranking, the informal ranking of reading sessions against each other is something I do mentally and this session ranks high largely because of this site and a couple of related pages here.

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

  21. This actually answered the question I had been searching for, and after I checked strategicgrowthpartnerships I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed, that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.

  22. Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at trustedenterpriseframework 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.

  23. Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at amidbull added more material I will pass along too, the impulse to share is the strongest signal I have for content quality and this site is generating that impulse cleanly across multiple posts.

  24. Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at strategicunitypartners extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  25. Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at explorelongtermopportunities sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.

  26. Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at clicktoexpandknowledgebase 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.

  27. Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at nextgenonlinebuying 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.

  28. Genuinely well crafted writing, the kind that makes the topic look easier than it actually is, and a look at trustedenterprisealliances added even more depth, you can feel the experience behind every line which is something only writers who have been at this for a while can pull off with this level of grace.

  29. Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at modernretailbuyinghub reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.

  30. Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content, and a stop at longtermvaluepartnership reinforced that, very few sites earn active defence rather than passive consumption and this one has clearly crossed that threshold for me without needing any explicit pitch from the writers themselves either.

  31. Found a small mental shift after reading this, the framing here is just a bit different from the standard takes online, and a look at clicktoadvanceknowledge extended that fresh perspective across more material, the rare site whose voice actually changes how you think about something rather than just confirming existing beliefs.

  32. Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at simpleecommercesolutions 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.

  33. Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at learnandadvanceonline kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.

  34. Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through businessrelationshipecosystem I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

  35. Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at exploreprofessionaldevelopment 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.

  36. Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at professionalbondsolutions extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.

  37. Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at reliablebusinessrelationships earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.

  38. Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at strategicbusinessalliances kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.

  39. Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at trustedbusinessframework 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.

  40. Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at clickforbusinesslearning maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.

  41. Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at clicktoexploreideas 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.

  42. Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at reliableonlinebuys added more material for those follow ups, content that prepares me for related conversations rather than just informing me alone is content with social utility and this site provides that social armament reliably for me.

  43. I came here looking for a quick answer and ended up reading the whole post because it was actually interesting, and after securebusinessrelationships I had a much fuller picture, no stress and no confusion just a clear walk through the topic that made everything fall into place without much effort.

  44. Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at trustedcorporatebonding kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.

  45. Thanks for laying this out in a way that someone newer to the topic can follow, and a stop at valuefocusedshoppinghub kept that accessibility going, writing that meets readers at different experience levels without condescending is hard to do well and the writers here have clearly thought about who they are writing for.

  46. 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 businessrelationshipecosystem 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.

  47. Now feeling the post has earned a proper recommendation rather than a casual mention, and a stop at businesstrustinfrastructure reinforced the recommendation strength, the difference between mentioning and recommending is a small editorial distinction I observe in my own conversations and this site has earned the upgraded recommendation level from me confidently today.

  48. Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at trustedenterpriseframework 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.

  49. Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at explorebusinessopportunities kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.

  50. Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at trustedshoppingplatform reinforced the watch status, the few sites I track deliberately rather than encounter accidentally are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has cleared the bar for that elevated tracking based on what I read.
