2027 Politics Watch: INEC yet to address Kano’s missing candidate

The race for the 2027 elections is heating up, with political parties in Kano raising concerns over the exclusion of a governorship candidate from the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) list. According to a report by Premium Times Nigeria, an opposition party’s candidate, the New Democratic Coalition (NDC), has questioned why his name was omitted from the list, citing a court order as the reason for his exclusion.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has also asked a federal court to prevent former members from contesting under opposition parties in Niger State. Meanwhile, the Ogun Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is preparing legal action, while Accord Party is defending its nominations.

The exclusion of a governorship candidate from a major political party in Kano raises questions about INEC’s readiness for the 2027 elections, and the fairness of the electoral process. This issue is of significant concern to Nigerian voters, who are eager for a free and fair election in 2027.
