Kano NDC optimistic as INEC probes Gwarzo’s omission – Daily Trust

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kano State says the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) might restore its governorship candidate, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, and his working mate to the listing of candidates for the 2027 election if their omission is discovered to be a mistake.

The celebration chairman in Kano, Hussaini Isah Mai Riga, stated the NDC had escalated the matter to its nationwide secretariat, which had taken it up with INEC.

He stated the fee had promised to analyze the omission, whereas the celebration awaited its response.

“We have written to our National Secretariat and they have escalated it also to INEC. INEC said it will investigate that if it’s a mistake, of course, it will restore our candidates’ status. So we are now waiting for their response,” Mai Riga stated.

Gwarzo and his deputy had been omitted from INEC’s ultimate listing of Kano governorship candidates, prompting considerations over the NDC’s participation within the 2027 governorship election.

The celebration is now counting on INEC’s investigation to make clear the candidates’ standing, with its management awaiting the fee’s response earlier than deciding on additional steps.
