INEC declares candidates of PDP, NRM winners of Zamfara elections
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Saturday, declared Bello Matawalle, the Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara state, winner of the March election.
INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, announced this during a press conference in Abuja on Saturday.
He also said the party won all but one of the elective positions in the state. Kabiru Hassan of the National Rescue Movement (NRM) won the election in Maru south state constituency.
Yakubu said this followed the Supreme Court’s unanimous judgement sacking all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the general election.
WuzupNaija reports that the Supreme Court on Friday ruled that the APC did not hold a valid primary election and subsequently voided its votes.
Matawalle had polled 189,452 votes to emerge second in the governorship election.
