The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has made history with a landslide victory in Kano State’s local government elections, securing all 44 chairmanship and councillorship positions. This impressive win was announced by Sani Malumfashi, Chairman of the Kano Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC), who praised the peaceful conduct of the election, noting that there were no reports of violence or electoral malpractices ¹.
Six political parties participated in the election, which was conducted smoothly across the state. Observers have hailed the election as a significant achievement, commending the seamless organization and security arrangements that ensured incident-free elections.
Interestingly, the election was initially faced with litigation attempts to stop it from holding. However, the Kano State High Court intervened, granting KANSIEC the authority to proceed with the elections and nullifying all attempts by political parties to stop the exercise. Justice Sanusi Ma’aji ruled that KANSIEC is constitutionally empowered to conduct, supervise, and oversee local government elections across Kano State’s 44 LGAs ¹.
Security at polling units was provided by local vigilante groups and officials of the Kano Road Transport Agency, Karota, following a court order restricting the Kano State Police Command from participating in the election. This victory is a significant milestone for NNPP and Kano State.
