You Are Why Gwarzo's Name Was Removed by INEC - APC Tells Kwankwaso
The court said INEC cannot alter the list while a lawsuit over the NDC candidate’s omission moves forward.
- The Federal High Court in Kano issued an interim injunction barring the Independent National Electoral Commission from altering the Gubernatorial List for the 2027 election. The ruling prohibits tampering with the list pending determination of a substantive application.
- NDC vice-presidential candidate Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso alleged the ruling All Progressives Congress orchestrated the omission of candidate Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo from the list issued on 11 October. Kwankwaso claimed allies of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf filed the lawsuit covertly.

- The APC reaffirmed its commitment to democratic principles, emphasizing that every eligible candidate holds a constitutional right to contest the 2027 elections. The party urged political actors to allow institutions to discharge responsibilities without politicizing internal party disputes.
