NDC to Sue INEC Over Gwarzo's Exclusion from Election
The Kano State chapter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has threatened to initiate legal action against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regarding the exclusion of its governorship candidate, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, from the candidate list for the 2027 governorship election. Husseini Mairiga, the state chairman of the NDC, expressed that the party would pursue legal redress if INEC does not address their complaint.
Mairiga noted that the party had not received any response from INEC following the October 24 deadline for grievances. He plans to visit Abuja to seek an update on the situation.
Mairiga emphasized that Gwarzo is a qualified candidate and a duly registered member of the party. He indicated that if INEC fails to provide an update, the NDC would proceed to court, stating, "We cannot just leave it like that.".
