NDC Appeals Gwarzo's Exclusion from 2027 Election List
The Kano State chapter of the NDC has formally appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the exclusion of its governorship candidate, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, from the list of candidates for the 2027 election. Husseini Mairiga, the state chairman, announced this during an interview, stating that the party submitted its complaint through the national leadership and is currently awaiting INEC's response.
The commission had given affected political parties until October 24 to report complaints regarding candidate exclusions. Mairiga explained that INEC's exclusion of Gwarzo was due to concerns about his party membership registration, which the party insists is valid.
Gwarzo registered with the NDC on May 5, 2026, at Gwarzo Ward, with membership number NDC 2026-KAN-457597. Mairiga expressed confidence that a review of the membership register would confirm Gwarzo's eligibility.
He also indicated that the party would seek legal action if INEC does not include Gwarzo on the final list.
