The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano State has rejected the results of the re-run elections in Bagwai/Shanono and Ghari/Tsanyawa state constituencies, alleging widespread irregularities, violence, and voter intimidation.
Addressing journalists in Kano on Saturday, the PDP Chairman, Alhaji Yusuf Kibiya, described the exercise as “totally devoid of democratic principles.” He alleged that political thugs disrupted the process, intimidating eligible voters and rendering the elections “a charade.”
Kibiya urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure a level playing field for all political parties, stressing that the credibility of the electoral process was at stake. He also called on security agencies to protect voters, safeguard peaceful assembly, and prevent violence during elections.
The PDP chairman further advised government officials and political leaders to refrain from inflammatory rhetoric, while urging relevant authorities to investigate electoral breaches and prosecute offenders to deter future misconduct.
Meanwhile, the Kano State Police Command said it arrested 288 suspected thugs during the re-run elections. Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Bakori, who disclosed this in Shanono Local Government Area, assured that investigations were ongoing and that those found culpable would face prosecution.
