    The Kano State Independent Electoral Commission has scheduled November 30, 2024, for the local government elections in the state.

    The Chairman of the Commission, Sani Malumfashi, announced the date while addressing a news conference in Kano on Wednesday.

    He said the notification of the election will be issued on November 15.

    Nomination forms will be available from October 1 to October 11, with submission of the forms due by October 18, 2024.

    He noted that the screening of candidates will take place from October 18 to October 20, while the list of eligible candidates will be released on October 24. The elections will follow thereafter.

    “We plan to release the results of the winners by December 10, 2024. This announcement is made under Section 103, Subsections 3 and 1 of the Electoral Act and the powers conferred on the Commission under Paragraph 3(4) of Part II, Third Schedule, Section 3(1) of the Kano Local Government Law 2004,” Malumfashi said.

    He said that the elections are being conducted following a Supreme Court judgment granting financial autonomy to local governments, and the conduct will be in accordance with the law.

    Malumfashi also announced that candidates are barred from placing their posters on places of worship, schools, and government buildings. Anyone violating these rules will be punished.

    He said the Commission expects all the 19 political parties to participate in the election.

    According to him, the Commission will work closely with security agencies to ensure a peaceful election.

    “Kano, with 44 local governments and over 7 million voters, presents significant security challenges, particularly in light of current economic difficulties,” he said.

    He explained that the Commission will recruit about 13,000 ad-hoc staff to man the 11,000 polling units.
