From Mustapha Adamu, Kano
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano State has rejected the outcome of the Bagwai/Shanono and Ghari/Tsanyawa re-run elections, citing widespread irregularities and violence.
The party claims the electoral process was marred by thuggery, with political thugs intimidating eligible voters, rendering the exercise farcical.
The Chairman of the party, Alhaji Yusuf Kibiya, described the process as “totally devoid of all democratic processes”.
He called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to provide a level playing ground for all parties, emphasizing that the current state of affairs undermines the integrity of the electoral process.
Kibiya explained that the entire process is “totally devoid of all democratic processes”.
He called on security agencies to protect voters, uphold peaceful assembly, and deter intimidation and violence.
The Kano State Government and national leaders should avoid inflammatory rhetoric and actions, promoting a transparent and peaceful electoral process.
He also called on authorities must investigate electoral law breaches and sanction offenders accordingly to prevent future misconduct.
