The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle winner of Zamfara state governorship election.
INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, announced this during a press conference in Abuja on Saturday.
He also said the party won in all elective positions in the state.
He said this followed the supreme court decision sacking all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the general election.
The apex court had ruled the party did not hold a valid primary election and subsequently voided its votes.
Matawalle had scored 189,452 to emerge second in the governorship election.
