Hajia Abibata Shanni, NPP parliamentary aspirant for the Yendi constituency, has petitioned the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) to order fresh elections.
This follows the chaos that marred the January 27 poll in the constituency.
The CEO of MASLOC has also called on the National Executive Council, the highest body of the NPP, to declare the elections “null and void.”
