The 2027 general elections in Kano State are still over two years away, but political activities are already intensifying. The two major parties, the ruling New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) and the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), are actively strategizing and preparing for a significant contest. Both parties have been receiving defectors from each other and other parties, bolstering their ranks ahead of the elections.
In addition to the maneuvers of these major parties, there is a growing movement within Kano to support alternative candidates. Political stakeholders are encouraging the electorate to consider lesser-known and financially constrained candidates, aiming to diversify the political landscape and offer more choices to voters.
These developments indicate that the political climate in Kano is becoming increasingly dynamic as various actors position themselves for the upcoming elections.
