Kwankwasiyya Movement Demands INEC Clarification on Gwarzo

The Kwankwasiyya movement has requested the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to clarify the absence of Gwarzo from the Kano gubernatorial list. In a statement issued on Sunday, spokesperson Dr Habibu Sale Mohammed expressed confidence that the issue could be resolved through administrative and legal channels.

The movement believes Gwarzo registered with the NDC within the required timeframe and is unaware of any court case justifying his omission. They urged INEC to explain the circumstances and ensure the matter is addressed promptly.

The statement highlighted Section 32(2) of the Electoral Act 2026, which allows a 14-day window for notifying INEC about a missing candidate's name. The movement advised the NDC to gather relevant documents to support their case and expressed the expectation that INEC would take corrective action if the omission was administrative.

They also called for supporters to continue lawful political activities and emphasized the importance of verifiable evidence and due process.
