The New Nigeria People's Party is a populist[3] political party in Nigeria, predominantly active in Kano State. It contested the 2023 Nigerian presidential election, but its standard-bearer, Rabiu Kwankwaso, came in fourth place, carrying only one state, its stronghold of Kano. The party later rejected these results and called for a repeat election.[4]
