Confusion as PDP, NNPP, ADC misses from Kano Assembly by-election ballot paper
Three major opposition parties, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), and African Democratic Congress (ADC), are not on the ballot papers for the Kano State House of Assembly by-election taking place on Saturday, according to a report by Very Nigerian.
The by-election is being held to fill two vacant seats in the Kano State House of Assembly after the deaths of the former lawmakers last year. The late legislators were members of the NNPP before their passing.
Very Nigerian reported that “three major opposition political parties are missing on the Independent National Electoral Commission ballot for the by-election holding today in Kano.” The station further stated that “nine political parties, excluding PDP, NNPP and ADC, are boldly listed on the ballot papers.”
Very Nigerian reported earlier that the by-election has recorded low voter turnout in several polling units across Kano Municipal Local Government Area, despite the early arrival of INEC officials.
As of mid-morning, “many polling units had only a handful of voters, with INEC officials seated and prepared, awaiting more constituents.”
Security personnel were strategically deployed to ensure order and safeguard voters and electoral staff. Observers noted “a strong presence of security personnel deployed across the area,” although many polling units had only a few voters waiting to cast their ballots.
INEC officials were seen seated and prepared, with electoral materials arranged, as they patiently awaited the arrival of more voters.
