Bello Matawalle of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been declared winner of Zamfara state governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
INEC chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, made the announcement during a press conference in Abuja on Saturday.
He also said the People Democratic Party, PDP, only lost one elective position in the whole of Zamfara state.
Yakubu said this following the Supreme Court ruling which sacked all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the general election earlier on Friday.
The apex court had ruled APC did not hold a valid primary election and subsequently rendered all votes cast for the party as “wasted votes.”
PDP’s Matawalle had scored 189,452 to emerge second in the 2019 governorship election.
