Gwarzo's Name Reinstated by INEC Boosts NDC's Popularity

Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, the NDC governorship candidate in Kano State, faced an initial setback when his name was omitted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). However, his name was subsequently reinstated.

Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu, the spokesperson for Gwarzo, expressed that the controversy surrounding this omission has actually strengthened the party's popularity rather than weakened its prospects for the upcoming 2027 elections. Shuaibu noted that the party was not alarmed by the earlier development, as they were confident that all electoral requirements had been met by Gwarzo.

He stated that the decision to restore Gwarzo's name did not surprise the party, as members viewed the omission as a temporary setback that would be corrected. Shuaibu emphasized that the party followed all necessary procedures from membership to the nomination process and submission of candidate details.
