The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has claimed all the chairmanship and councillorship seats in the just concluded Zamfara local government elections.
The party recorded a landslide victory, winning all fourteen chairmanship seats and securing every councillor position.
The Chairman of Zamfara State Independent Electoral Commission (ZASIEC) Bala Aliyu announced the results on Sunday morning.
Speaking to journalists shortly after the collation exercise in Gusau, the Commission’s chairman said that PDP candidates had emerged victorious in Gusau, Kaura-Namoda, Maru, Talata Mafara, and Anka, among others.
He described the elections as free, fair, and credible, attributing the success of the exercise to the collaborative efforts of security agencies, election officials, and voters.
The representative of the PDP at the collation centre, Wadatau Madawaki, expressed his satisfaction with the election results, describing it as a resounding endorsement of the PDP’s leadership and commitment to the development of Zamfara State.
He charged the local government chairmen-elect to key into Governor Dauda Lawal’s Rescue Mission to take Zamfara to greater heights.
