Mario and Keller’s Elcom Accused of Subverting Constitution to Illegally Clear Abdullahi Isah for Idah NYCN Election

  It has been gathered that the Electoral Committee (Elcom), chaired by Mario and with Abdulkadeer Ali-Keller as its secretary, has come under intense scrutiny for allegedly subverting the constitution to clear Abdullahi Isah, a serving councilor, to contest for the position of Idah NYCN Coordinator.
