The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has removed the name of the embattled Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Ado Doguwa, from the list of Reps-elect.
Recall that the electoral body had declared Dogowa of All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the February 25 election for Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency of Kano State.
The Returning Officer, Prof. Ibrahim Yakasai, announced the result on February 26 at the Tudun Wada INEC office.
Yakasai said that Doguwa scored 39,732 votes to defeat his closest rival, Salisu Abdullahi of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), who polled 34,798 votes. At the time, there were reports that Prof. Yakasai made the declaration under duress.
However, in the newly-released list of members-elect, Doguwa’s name was conspicuously missing.
