Lawal Alhassan, Chairman of the Katsina State Independent Electoral Commission, announced the results on Sunday at the commission’s offices.

He stated that the APC had won all 34 chairmanship and 361 councillorship posts in the state.

Alhassan apologized for the delay in announcing the results, citing late submissions from certain local government regions.

“As of midnight yesterday, only 24 local government areas out of the 34 had submitted their results. The remaining 10, including Batsari, Charanchi, Dandume, Daura, Funtua, Kankia, Katsina, Mani, Dutsinma, and Sabuwa, were received today,” he said.

Boyi applauded the electoral commission for ensuring a peaceful and transparent electoral process, adding, “To our esteemed candidates who contested in the elections and lost, I salute your courage, determination, and commitment towards serving our great state.”
