2027: INEC provisionally clears Pantami and Gwarzo, source says

Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reportedly provisionally cleared Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, the PDP governorship candidate in Gombe State, and Abdulsalam Gwarzo, the NDC candidate in Kano State, to contest the 2027 elections. Their clearance remains subject to the outcome of pending court cases, and INEC did not immediately confirm the decision. Pantami had been removed from the final list after Ahmed Mailantarki Mailantarki challenged his nomination and a Supreme Court ruling addressed party membership-register requirements. INEC also rejected a request by Ogun State PDP candidate Ladi Adebutu to review his exclusion from the list.
