NDC petitions NJC, INEC over court ruling replacing its candidate in Kano

The NDC has petitioned the NJC and INEC to investigate a Federal High Court ruling in Kano that replaced its candidate for the Gwale Federal Constituency, Dr. Muhammad Hamisu, with another person. Party officials claim they were not invited to testify about their May 29 2026 consensus exercise monitored by INEC and security agencies, and they dispute the authenticity of a June 15 2026 letter listing candidates that was presented to the court.
