The Kwankwasiyya Movement and the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) have petitioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the exclusion of their candidates from the final list for the 2027 elections in Kano and Oyo states, respectively. A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aspirant in Ogun State has threatened legal action over a similar omission. The development comes as President Bola Tinubu nominated five new officials to INEC and reappointed Dr. Bala Bila as National Commissioner representing the North-east. The Senate is expected to confirm the nominees.
