NDC Sues INEC Over Exclusion of Kano Candidate Gwarzo
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has initiated legal action against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regarding the exclusion of its Kano State governorship candidate, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, from the list of candidates for the forthcoming election. The party has approached the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking an order to compel INEC to include Gwarzo’s name on the official candidate list.
The NDC asserts that Gwarzo has met all necessary requirements to participate in the election and should not be omitted from the race. Yusuf Kofarmata, an NDC chieftain linked to the Kwankwasiyya movement, announced the development and urged party supporters to remain calm as the case unfolds.
He expressed confidence in a favorable court ruling that would allow Gwarzo to contest. The specific reasons for Gwarzo's exclusion by INEC were not disclosed, and details regarding the suit, including the hearing date and INEC's response, remain unclear.
Until a court decision is reached, Gwarzo's candidacy status is the focal point of the dispute.
