bloomshorts The All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately cancel the by-election for Shanono/Bagwai constituency and the Ghari constituency re-run election in Kano State.
The party highlighted widespread violence and election disruption by armed thugs across several polling units, making a credible election impossible. Reports indicate voters fled polling areas, and security agents were overwhelmed.
In a statement, the APC emphasized that proceeding under such conditions would set a dangerous precedent for Nigeria’s democracy. The Nigeria Police announced the arrest of 288 suspected thugs during the elections, underscoring the severity of the disruptions.
