A’Court declares Zamfara gov poll inclusive, orders fresh election in 3 LGAs

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has declared the Zamfara State governorship election as inconclusive.

A three-member panel unanimously annuled the election of Dauda Lawal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and ordered a fresh election in three local government areas of the state.

The Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Lawal as the winner of the March 18 poll with 377,726 votes.

But Bello Matawalle , candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who polled 311,976 votes, challenged the outcome of the poll.
