The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Appeals Committee in Kaduna State upholds Shuaibu Idris Mikati as the party’s governorship candidate. Both outlets report that the committee affirms Mikati’s emergence while also directing additional electoral processes. In particular, the committee orders fresh and rerun primary elections in several federal and state constituencies where results are disputed or require re-examination. The reports describe the decision as part of the party’s internal appeals process, following challenges to candidate emergence in certain constituencies. While Mikati’s candidacy for the Kaduna governorship is maintained, the committee’s orders mean other positions at constituency level will be contested again through new or repeated primary elections. The outlets do not provide further details on the specific constituencies affected or the grounds of the disputes, but they agree on the core outcomes: Mikati remains the ADC governorship candidate, and rerun/fresh primaries are required in the contested areas.
