Kwankwasiyya Supporters Protest In Kano, Petition INEC Over Omission of NDC Gov Candidate
- On Friday, hundreds of Nigeria Democratic Congress supporters protested at the Independent National Electoral Commission office in Kano, demanding reinstatement of governorship candidate Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo and running mate Mustapha Rabiu for the 2027 election.
- The NDC alleges that Hauwa Buhari Buhari, Head of the Department of Election and Party Monitoring, issued multiple inconsistent reports on the party's primary election containing forged signatures and excluding validly nominated candidates.
- In a petition submitted through lawyers at Tahir Chambers, the party cited Section 32 of the Electoral Act 2026, which provides a 14-day window for parties to notify INEC regarding missing candidate names using an affidavit.
- Kano Resident Electoral Commissioner Abdu Zango met the delegation Friday, promising to forward the petition to national headquarters while noting that an appeal window remains open until October 24.
- While Zango emphasized the commission's neutrality, the Kwankwasiyya Movement insists on a full investigation into how the alleged irregularities occurred and who authorized the candidate substitutions.
