Kano Court nullifies attempts to halt Local Government elections

The uncertainty surrounding the Kano Local Government election is now over as the State High Court has granted the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission, KANSIEC, the authority to proceed with the exercise scheduled for Saturday.

The verdict nullifies all attempts by the political parties to stop the exercise.

Justice Sunusi Ma’aji, presiding over the case, ruled that KANSIEC is empowered by the Constitution to conduct, supervise and oversee Local Government elections across the 44 Local Government Areas in Kano State.

The case was brought by KANSIEC against the All Progressives Congress, APC, and 13 other political parties.

In his ruling, Justice Ma’aji emphasized that any effort to obstruct the process would be deemed null and void.
