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. Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at trivoxtrust continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.

  2. Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at qorivogroup did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.

  3. Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at clickforbusinessinsights reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.

  4. Worth pointing out that the writing reads as confident without being defensive about it, and a look at zexarobond extended that secure tone, content that does not pre emptively argue against imagined critics has a different quality from defensive writing and this site reads as written from a place of real ease.

  5. Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at xalirobonded 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.

  7. Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at longtermcorporateconnections keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.

  8. Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to findsmarterbusinessmoves earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.

  9. Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at everydayonlinebuystore 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.

  10.

  11. Solid post, the structure is easy to follow and the language stays simple even when the topic gets a bit more involved, and a look at xavix kept that same standard going, so I left feeling like the time spent here was actually worth something for once which is rare lately.

  12. Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at globaldealmarketplace added more material I will pass along, recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.

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

  14. Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over travik the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.

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

  16. Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at ampleclove pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.

  17. Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to morixostead confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.

  18. Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at clicktoexploreopportunities 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.

  19. Now considering whether the post would translate well into a different form, and a look at qorivogroup suggested similar versatility, content that could move into other media without losing its substance is content that has been built around ideas rather than around format and this site reads as idea first throughout posts.

  20. Skipped the comments section but might come back to read it, and a stop at strategicgrowthpartnerships hinted at a quality reader community, sites where the comments are worth reading separately from the post are increasingly rare and signal a particular kind of audience that has grown around the editorial vision over time gradually.

  21. Quietly impressive in a way that does not announce itself, and a stop at ravionbonded extended that quiet impressiveness, the kind of quality that emerges through sustained attention rather than first impressions is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has been earning that deeper trust across multiple sessions over time consistently.

  22. Now wishing I had found this site sooner, and a look at secureonlinebuyingplace 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.

  23. Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at qulavoflow reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.

  24. Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at corporatetrustnetwork kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to and probably mentioning to others who work in or care about this particular area of interest today and in coming weeks.

  25. Granted my mood today might be elevating my reading experience but I still think this is genuinely good, and a stop at valuefocusedshoppinghub reinforced that even discounted assessment, controlling for the mood adjustment that affects content perception this site still reads as substantively above average across multiple pieces I have read carefully today.

  26. Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at brixeltrust cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.

  27. Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at zylavostore 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.

  28. Liked the balance between depth and brevity, never too shallow and never too long, and a stop at discoverbetterapproaches kept the same balance going across the rest of the site, this is one of the harder skills in writing and the team here clearly has it figured out very well indeed across every page.

  29. However selective I am about new bookmarks this one made it past my filter, and a look at ulvix confirmed the bookmark was worth the slot, the precious slots in my permanent bookmark folder are difficult to earn and this site earned one without making me think twice about whether the slot was justified by the quality.

  30. Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at trustedbusinessframework 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.

  31. Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at strategiccorporatealliances 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.

  32. Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at enterprisevaluealliances kept showing me why, original thoughtful writing exists if you know where to look and this site has earned a place on my short list of those rare exceptions worth defending.

  33. Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at clickfornewperspectives similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.

  34. Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at clickforbusinesslearning 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.

  35. Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at plexin also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.

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

  37. Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at zalvo added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.

  38. Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at voryx earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.

  39. Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at everydaydigitalmarketplace 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.

  40. Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at discoverbettersolutions fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.

  41. Felt this in a way I cannot quite explain, the topic just hit different here, and a stop at zavix continued in that vein, sometimes you find a site whose perspective lines up with how you have been thinking and reading their work feels like a small relief which I appreciated more than I expected.

  42. A piece that took its time without dragging, and a look at zylavoflow kept the same patient pace, the difference between unhurried and slow is a fine editorial distinction and this site has clearly found the unhurried side without slipping into the slow side which would have lost me as a reader quickly otherwise.

  43. Reading this with a notebook open turned out to be the right move, and a stop at longtermvaluealliances 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.

  44. Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at kavionpath 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.

  45. Better signal to noise ratio than most places I check on this kind of topic, and a look at quvexacore kept that going, every paragraph here carries something worth reading rather than padding out the page to hit some arbitrary length target that search engines reward but readers ignore as soon as they notice it.

  46. Felt mildly happier after reading, which sounds silly but is true, and a look at businessrelationshipnetwork extended that small mood lift, content that improves rather than degrades my mental state is content I want more of and the cumulative effect of reading sites that lift versus sites that drag is real over time.

  47. However measured this site clears the bar I set for sites I take seriously, and a stop at ravionstore continued clearing that bar, the metrics I use for site quality are admittedly informal but they are consistent and this site has cleared them on multiple measurements across multiple visits which is meaningful for my evaluation.

  48. Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at businessunityplatform provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.

  49. Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at flexibledigitalshopping continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.

  50. Decided I would read the archives over the weekend, and a stop at nolix confirmed that the archives would be worth the time, very few sites have archives I would actively read through but this one has earned that level of interest based on the consistent quality across what I have sampled so far.
