 INEC declares Zamfara by-election inconclusive


The  Independent National Electoral Commission has declared the Kaura Namoda South State Constituency by-election in Zamfara inconclusive.

The INEC Returning Officer for the election, Lawal Sa’Adu, a professor in Federal University Gusau said that the declaration followed the cancellation of results from some polling units in Sakajiki and Kambarawa wards.

Sa’adu said the total number of registered voters in the affected polling units stood at 5,446, while 3,265 Permanent Voter Cards were collected in those areas.

He explained that the All Progressives Congress scored 7,001 votes, while the Peoples Democratic Party scored 5,339 votes, leaving a margin of 1,662 votes.

Sa’adu stated that the margin was less than the total number of PVCs collected in the cancelled polling units, therefore, the election cannot be concluded.

The electoral umpire cited Sections 24 subsection 2 & 3, Section 47 subsection 3, and Section 51 subsection 2 of the Electoral Act 2022 as reasons for declaring the election inconclusive

He said the Electoral Act 2022 and the Manual for Election Officials, such a situation arises where the margin of lead between the two leading candidates was not more than the number of collected PVCs in areas where elections were cancelled.

According to him, the Returning Officer shall decline to declare a winner until supplementary elections are conducted.

The returning officer also said that the two registration areas affected by the cancellation were: Sakajiki Ward, with two polling units affected, having 1,357 registered voters and 1,298 PVCs collected.

The other was Kambarawa Ward, with three polling units affected and having 4,088 registered voters and 1,964 PVCs collected.

Sa’adu, therefore, declared the election inconclusive, pending the conduct of a supplementary poll in the affected polling units.

He said INEC would announce a new date for the rerun election in the five affected polling units across Sakajiki and Kyambarawa wards.
