The Abuja Court of Appeal has nullified the election of Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State. As gathered from the DailyTrust. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Lawal winner of the March 18 governorship election.
However, the All Progressives Congress (APC) challenged the victory of Lawal, who ran under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The tribunal had upheld Lawal’s election, but the APC proceeded to the Appeal Court.
In the ruling on Thursday, a three-member panel of justices annulled the victory of Lawal, ordering a rerun of the election in three local government areas.
The LGAs affected are Birnin Magaji, Maradun and Bukuyun.
