LG poll: PDP sweeps all 14 chairmanship seats in Zamfara
All 14 chairmanship seats have been by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the just-concluded Zamfara State local government election.
The Chairman of Zamfara State Independent Electoral Commission (ZASIEC), Bala Aliyu, announced the results on Sunday morning and said PDP also secured victory in the councillorship positions in the state.
Speaking with journalists after the collation exercise in Gusau, the Commission’s chairman said that PDP candidates had emerged victorious across all LGAs, including Gusau, Kaura-Namoda, Maru, Talata Mafara, and Anka, among others.
He described the elections as free, fair, and credible, attributing the success of the exercise to the collaborative efforts of security agencies, election officials, and voters.
The independent observers who monitored the elections also reported a generally peaceful atmosphere and praised the conduct of the polls, highlighting the improved security arrangements that allowed the election to be conducted smoothly.
However, the representative of the PDP at the collation centre, Wadatau Madawaki, while expressing his satisfaction with the election results, described the victory as a resounding endorsement of the PDP’s leadership and commitment to the development of Zamfara State.
He charged the local government chairmen-elect to key into Governor Dauda Lawal’s Rescue Mission to take Zamfara to greater heights.
