The [Kwankwasiyya Movement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwankwasiyya) has appealed to the [Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria_Democratic_Congress) to seek judicial redress after the Independent National Electoral Commission omitted its Kano State governorship candidate, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, and his running mate, Mustapha Rabi’u Kwankwaso, from the official list released on Sunday.
**What caused the omission?**
The movement says its records show Gwarzo completed party registration within the deadline set by law. It claims no court order or judicial directive has been cited to justify the exclusion, and it has asked INEC to clarify the reasons behind the oversight.
**Which legal tool can be used?**
The statement highlights Section 32(2) of the [Electoral Act 2026](https://www.inecnigeria.org/electoral-act-2026), which grants a political party a 14‑day period to notify INEC in writing, accompanied by an affidavit, when a nominated candidate’s name is missing from the published roster.
**What does the movement advise the NDC to do?**
It urges the party’s leadership and legal counsel to gather all pertinent documents—proof of timely registration, nomination papers, submission receipts, and any required affidavits—and present them to INEC before the statutory deadline.
**What is expected of INEC?**
The Kwankwasiyya Movement expects the commission to address the matter transparently if the candidate’s paperwork complies with the regulations, treating the omission as a purely administrative error. It refrains from speculating on INEC’s final stance or the outcome of any court proceedings.
**How should supporters react?**
Supporters are asked to stay calm, avoid confrontations, and refrain from spreading unverified information. The movement promises to monitor the situation closely and provide confirmed updates as they become available.
