Uncertainty in Kano as PDP factions hold parallel primaries

There is uncertainty in the Kano State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party’s primaries conducted for House of Assembly and House of Representatives aspirants in the state as two parallel factions of the PDP, led by Shehu Wada Sagagi and Bello Hayatu Gwarzo held the primary election in Kano on Sunday.

The factions claimed to have been inspected by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The Star, however, gathered that the Gwarzo-led faction conducted its primary election on Sunday night and is yet to compile the results from the 44 local government areas of the state.

The other faction believed to be inclined to Sagagi-led executive conducted its primary election earlier than the other PDP faction across the 44 local governments.

A source at the INEC office in Kano confirmed that officials of the commission inspected the PDP primaries but declined to specify which of the faction they inspected.

He revealed that results are being compiled and would be made public when they are ready.

It would be recalled that an Abuja High Court recently gave an order restraining the Sagagi-led executive council of the PDP from exercising and parading themselves as the leadership of the PDP pending hearing and determination of case brought before it by the other faction.
