INEC omits PDP's Pantami from Gombe governorship list after court-ordered rerun

Nigeria's electoral commission published a final list of 16 candidates for the Gombe governorship race, excluding PDP's Pantami despite his September primary win following a court-voided nomination. The omission signals a legal or procedural dispute over his candidacy, potentially altering the state's electoral landscape. The situation is developing as the PDP may seek legal recourse.
