A governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has selected the son of former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, as his running mate in the upcoming election.

The announcement marks a significant political development in the state, drawing widespread attention due to the involvement of a prominent political family in the ticket formation ahead of the polls.

Party officials said the decision was made to strengthen the ticket and improve its electoral competitiveness, particularly by appealing to younger voters and broadening support across key constituencies in the state.

The selection is expected to reshape political dynamics ahead of the election, as parties intensify preparations and consolidate their campaigns.

Further details on the official unveiling and campaign activities are expected to be announced by the party in due course.
