Declare Kano Gov’ship Poll Inconclusive Within 7 Days, APC Tells INEC 2023Elections News Politics
The APC legal adviser, Abdul Fagge made the disclosure during a press conference yesterday, saying there was no way the election could be declared conclusive with over 270,000 votes cancelled which shows that it is bigger than the winning votes.
He said, “Based on section 65 of the Electoral Laws 2022, we have written to INEC to revisit and cancel the hasty, wrong and selfish declaration of the NNPP as winner of the elections, and declare the election inconclusive.” He said they have since written to INEC to within seven days revisit the elections based on the provisions of the electoral law and declare it inconclusive.
The legal adviser who was backed by the APC gubernatorial candidate, Dr Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, and top party members, said the INEC returning officer did not rely on the provisions of the law. Fagge warned that if INEC could declare elections in Kebbi and Adamawa states as inconclusive, based on violence and over voting, why not Kano where elections were clearly violent.
