ADC and NDC Withdraw from Kano By-Election on Sept 19
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) will not participate in the by-election for the Dawakin Kudu State Constituency seat in the Kano State House of Assembly scheduled for September 19. This decision, announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), leaves six political parties in the contest: Action Democratic Party (ADP), Action Peoples Party (APP), All Progressives Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).
Musa Shu’aibu Ungogo, the Kano State Chairman of the ADC, attributed the party's non-participation to an ongoing leadership dispute in court, despite having candidates ready. The NDC, led by Kano State Chairman Hussain Isa Mairiga, decided to focus resources on the 2027 general elections, citing insufficient time for preparation for the by-election.
INEC has completed preparations for the election and urged compliance with electoral laws.
