A Federal High Court in Kano has halted the scheduled local government elections in the state, previously set for Saturday, October 26, and dissolved the membership of the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC). Justice Simon Ameboda, while delivering judgment yesterday in a case filed by Aminu Aliyu Tiga and the All Progressives Congress (APC), ruled that KANSIEC’s chairman and five commissioners were ineligible for their roles. He stated that they were involved in partisan politics as members of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), which violates sections 197(1)(b) and 200(1)(a) of the 1999 Constitution, as well as Section 4 of the KANSIEC Law 2001. The chairman of KANSIEC, Professor Sani Lawal Malumfashi, and commissioners Muktar Garba Dandago, Isyaku Ibrahim Kunya, Kabiru Jibrin Zakirai, and Amina Inuwa Fagge, were found to be card-carrying members of the NNPP. The court deemed this unconstitutional, making them ineligible to serve on the electoral commission. 1 Like 1 Share |
