The PDP leads the APC candidate by 26,655 votes.

The Independent National Electoral Commission has declared the outcome of Saturday’s governorship election in Kano State as inconclusive.Mr Shehu said the election is inconclusive because the number of cancelled votes is higher than the difference in votes scored between the two leading candidates: Abba Yusuf of the Peoples Democratic Party and incumbent governor Abdullahi Ganduje of the All Progressives Congress .

Announcing the results, Mr Shehu said while the PDP candidate polled 1,014,474 votes, Mr Ganduje of the APC scored 987,819 votes leaving a difference of 26,655 votes. He also said the total number of votes cancelled across 22 local government areas including Gama ward of Nasarawa local government is 141,694 votes.

The returning officer said based on the provisions of the law, he has to declare the election inconclusive because the number of cancelled votes is much higher than the difference between the two major candidates. Kano thus joins a growing list of states where elections have been declared inconclusive. The list includes Benue, Plateau, Adamawa, Bauchi and Sokoto states.

May God help our Nation Nigeria

Hmmm. Nigeria, but why is only the state that PDP is leading INEC call it as inconclusive election. Nigeria Nigeria.

Declaring the elections inconclusive won't change the will of the people as far as Kano is concerned.

elrufai What ever mah if there is something more than inconclusive use it God is better than you

elrufai up up ganduje

How can you decide the outcome of an election when the number of cancelled votes is more than the difference between candidates. Double standard people. APC is leary leading with 45k in plateau but yet the elections was declared inconclusive. But you guys will not see that

It is obvious PDP is winning there.

What's the rule guiding an election to be declared inconclusive?

This is very unfortunate, INEC needs to respect people's mandate otherwise....

An attempt to bring Gandollar back by all means.

Am i the only one surprised at the final result? oo seems only me, everybody else knows rigging when it happens. They left the last local government as an insurance just incase it doesnt go well.

APC should face this defeat and go back to the drawing board

When INEC started that inconclusive things with Ekiti and OSun states I believe some of you now complaining applauded them una never see anything.

This stupid thing called 'inconclusive' is just too inconclusively frequent with inecnigeria since Osun election. You were given 10 oranges, count those that are good and bad, yet 'inconclusive'. Is that not a miracle?

What a Nation

MBuhari elrufai kano as political mirror coming 2023

The OSUN medicine for all those states.... COMING SHORTLY....

I de shame oooo!

I suppose there must have been atleast a canceled vote in all the polling unit in kano. So INEC shuld be ready to conduct a total fresh election in the whole kano since you want to be stupid!

elrufai Ganduje second term is conclusive now, thanks yakubu for using the new technology of video referee.

This is unfair... Inconclusive ke...

Because their preferred candidate has lost woefully.

Hahahahahahahaha APC Govr-Gaduje, godfather of rolling dollars Dollar don roll enter INEC pocket

Just postponing the evil day. PDP won.

elrufai And see me thinking inecnigeria will disappoint us just this once and do the right thing

Guys even of half of people in kano are going to loose Their lives Ganduje will stop at nothing

We were warned but we said we want change. Don't complain,let's enjoy the change and next level.

elrufai All eyes on u INEC in kano

This is getting out of hand. Please where are we heading. God have mercy our land. Amen

This inecnigeria are clearly frauds and incompetent.

Nigeria will later be declared inconclusive

Kaduna was suspended later el rufai was declared winner same as zamfara now this inecnigeria can't you people for once give the people what they want

They must conclude it at last

Great, victory is yours Ganduje!

elrufai Allah yasa haka ne yapi Alheri Abban Dai Abban Dai

This Prof yakubu's inec is an inconclusive inec. At least someone wants the crown of rubbish elections from Prof iwu

elrufai Chai,kano ko da me kaxo an fika. I guess una wan show plateau state and co say na una sabi this inconclusive shit pass. I dey here.

elrufai Allah yafi ku. Abbaiswinning

elrufai How can somebody’s surname be Manhood, May be he is thinking from there.

elrufai Integrity FC

But folks, let's face it. If they declare the leading candidates as winner, by law, court will nullify the declaration. Except we ask INEC not to follow the law. As long as outstanding votes are far more than gaps between contestants, INEC has no choice...

INCONCLUSIVE NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION inecnigeria maka why in Kano ? Gandollar have given INEC part of their share

again

Lakuli

I Call to good people of Kano state to be calm,wait and see what shall happen If care is not taking anything can happen!!!

this is so unfair..

Why is it that, it is when PDP wins an APC state that the election will be inconclusive? Inec God kill una

Nigerians are the most resilient people on earth. When is it enough.

INEC Declare Bauchi State Election inconclusive, Adamawa Election inconclusive, Sokoto Election inconclusive, River Election inconclusive, Now Kano State Election too is inconclusive all because PDP is leading, the states. RIP DEMOCRACY 😩😩😩

I need the figures for all the 44 local governments...

Congrats to OfficialAPCNg ... Useless set of people

Honestly Maurice Iwu INEC is a saint compared to Professor Mahmood Yakubu INEC.

What?😲

Every state that pdp is leading is always inconclusive...Weldon oh INEC

INEC wan rig am be that oh.

They scattered the results sheets all because they are loosing but INEC end of favoring them with Inconclusive. Welcome to Nigeria I’m sure some hypocrites will hail this🤷‍♀️

They added water to ijebu garri, it refused to rise. Well done inecnigeria .

This administration will not stop until they break Nigeria 🇳🇬. D-NEC, shame on u guys

We saw this coming

This one weak me oooh...... 🤔 🤔 🤔

OfficialPDPNig atiku.... Mahmood Yakubu and apc refused declare pdp as a winner. Two days. Osun is pure example.... Rigging activated. Apc will change all the results over night. I pity pdp.

APC is terribly shocked on the outcome of the northern Governorship elections... OfficialPDPNig should better do all it takes to protect their wins... And not just fold hands like Osun... I'm happy with the success of PDP in this governorship election. officialKolaO

Inconclusive Party of Nigeria (IPN) is really doing well in this election... winning so many states and seats.

Am I not gradually begging to believe in these guys who go about burning Inec offices! Gradually, it will soon get to the point mob will start attacking and killing Inec officials. Mark my words, we are fastly nearing that point.

Kaduna inconclusive robbery awaits kano. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
