Meanwhile, Rabiu Kwankwaso, a key political leader in Kano and presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), voted at his polling unit in Kwankwaso ward, Madobi Local Government Area.
The election is taking place amid a series of setbacks, as several courts have issued orders and counter orders against the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSEIC), questioning its authority to conduct the election.
Additionally, another court ruling has called for the resignation of the KANSEIC chairman, raising the composition of the commission’s leadership and the transparency of the process.
