The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has won all the chairmanship seats in all the 44 Local Government Areas in election conducted in Kano State on Saturday.
Chairman of the Kano Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC), Sani Malumfash, announced the results at the state capital.
“We are pleased to announce that the NNPP has won all the chairmanship and councillorship seats across the 44 local government areas,” he said.
“The election was conducted in a transparent and orderly manner and we did not receive any reports of violence
The process leading to the local government election was fraught with a barrage of litigations.
On October 22, a federal high court in Kano restrained Malumfashi from conducting the October 26 LG polls.
In his ruling, Simon Amobede, the presiding judge, said Malumfashi was “unqualified” to conduct the elections because “he is a card-carrying member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP)”.
The case was filed by Aminu Tiga, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
