Following court decision, Dr. Dauda Lawal-Dare has been rel-elected as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State.
The party primary election was re-conducted after the Federal High Court judgment had nullified the previous primary that elected Dauda Lawal.
Dauda Lawal-Dare polled 422 votes and emerged as the PDP candidate while Ibrahim Shehu and Hafiz Mohammed got one vote each. Another contestant, Wadatau Madawaki, scored zero votes in the election on Friday.
The chairman of the election committee, Hassan Hyet, announced Dauda Lawal-Dare as the winner having scored the highest number of votes and was returned as the governorship candidate of the party in the state for next year’s poll.
“Based on the rules and guidelines of the party, I have the singular honour to return Dr. Dauda Lawal Dare as duly elected to be the flag bearer of Zamfara state PDP comes 2023,” he said.
Hassan, who was sent from the PDP headquarters in Abuja to conduct the fresh exercise, described it as peaceful, transparent, and credible.
In the re-run primary, over 455 delegates participated but 431 were accredited while 428 were the total number of votes cast.
