2027: Ganduje’s son joins Reps race under NDC

In what appears to be a major political development in Kano State, AbdulAziz Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, son of former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has purchased a nomination form to contest for the House of Representatives seat representing Dawakin Tofa/Tofa/Rimin Gado Federal Constituency.

AbdulAziz, who reportedly parted political ways with his family and aligned himself with the political camp of former Kano governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, was seen in a viral video clip explaining his political mission to Kwankwaso.

The move is being viewed by political observers as a significant twist in Kano’s evolving political landscape, especially given the long-standing rivalry between the APC and Kwankwaso’s political structure in the state.

With the latest development, AbdulAziz is expected to face the APC candidate in what is already being described as one of the most anticipated and fiercely contested House of Representatives races in Kano ahead of the elections.

The New Democratic Coalition (NDC), which Kwankwaso recently joined after defecting from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has continued to gain political momentum across Kano State, attracting supporters and key political figures ahead of the polls.

Analysts believe AbdulAziz’s decision to contest under the emerging political platform could further reshape alliances within Kano politics and intensify competition in the Dawakin Tofa/Tofa/Rimin Gado constituency.
