The Kano State chapter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has postponed its planned state congress for the election of party executives, citing a recent influx of prominent political figures into its ranks.
The announcement was made by the party’s Director-General of Social Media in Kano, Adam Said Adam, on behalf of the state leadership.
State Chairman, Husaini Isah Mai Riga, explained that the postponement became necessary to allow adequate time to integrate new members and ensure a smooth, inclusive congress process.
While the identities and former affiliations of the new entrants were not disclosed, the development suggests the party may be gaining momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, amid ongoing political realignments in the state.
Mai Riga assured members that a new date for the congress would be announced once preparations are finalised.
The NDC remains one of several opposition platforms in Kano State, where political competition is largely shaped by the dominance of the All Progressives Congress and other major parties.
