Aminu Sani Jaji has emerged as the winner of the All Progressives Congress (APC) re-run senatorial primary election for Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency in Zamfara State.
The Chairman of the APC Electoral Committee for the exercise, Kabiru Idris, declared Jaji winner after the primary election conducted on November 11, 2026.
Announcing the results at the collation centre in Kaura Namoda, Idris disclosed that out of 42,266 registered party members, 27,389 were accredited, while 27,359 votes were cast.
According to the official results, Aminu Sani Jaji polled 26,646 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Hassan Umar Dangaladima, who scored 713 votes. Musa Zubairu recorded no votes.
The returning officer, Kabiru Idris, subsequently declared Jaji winner, having satisfied the requirements of the electoral process.
It will be recalled that the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered a fresh primary election following a suit filed by Hassan Umar Galadima, which challenged the process that produced Jaji as the party’s candidate.
The court subsequently nullified Jaji’s earlier nomination over alleged non-compliance with APC guidelines and provisions of the Electoral Act.
