NNPP Wins All Chairmanship And Councillorship Seats in Kano

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has won all 44 Local Government chairmanship seats and the 484 councillorship seats contested for in Saturday’s controversial Local Government election in Kano state.

Didactic Information Hut recalls that a Federal High Court had earlier ruled against the exercise and in a similar way, another sister Court disqualified all candidates of the NNPP loyal to the Kano Governor.

But in defiance, the embattled Chairman of the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC), Professor Sani Lawan Malunfashi, who was earlier sacked by the Court announced the results at the commission’s headquarters in Kano.

He said, “Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC) had exercised and observed its Constitutional mandates of planning, organizing, coordinating, observing and conducting Local Government Election in Kano State of Nigeria.

“The exercise was largely peaceful and successful in all ramifications. The Commission therefore deeply appreciates the roles played by the critical stakeholders, notably Security Agencies, Media organizations, Leaders of Political Parties, Civil Society organizations, Religious Leaders, Community Leaders, Youth and Women organizations, towards the actualization of grassroots. Democracy in the State.

“The Commission is also profoundly grateful to the good people of Kano State for their collective support, prayers and expression of positive emotions.

“The peaceful conduct of the exercise is a doubtless manifestation of public acceptability of the exercise in terms of credibility, fairness, and decency.

“Six Political Parties participated: AA, AAC, ACCORD, ADC, APM, and NNPP. NNPP won all 44 Local Government Chairmanship and 484 Councillorship Positions contested.”
