Nigeria’s 2027 election candidate list update from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) still does not include the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) governorship candidate in Kano State. Both outlets report that the candidate’s name remains missing from INEC’s updated list, alongside his running mate.
Vanguard adds identifying details, naming the NDC candidates as Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo and his running mate, Mustapha Rabiu Kwankwaso. Legit.ng focuses more generally on the absence of the governorship candidate from the updated list and notes that it raises questions about the party’s status. Neither outlet, based on the provided summaries, explains why the names are missing or provides INEC’s response.
