The New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) has won all chairmanship and councillorship seats in the Kano local government elections.
The Kano LG polls held on Saturday with great tension with residents failing to turn out to vote over insecurity fears.
However, the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission on Saturday night declared the NNPP has the winner of all 44 local government chairmanships and the 484 councillorship positions.
Announcing the results, KANSIEC Chairman, Prof. Sani Malumfashi, said;
“Six political parties participated in the election: AA, AAC, Accord, ADC, APM, and NNPP.
“The NNPP won all 44 local government chairmanships and 484 councillorship positions contested,” Malumfashi added.
