Bello El-Rufai, a member of the House of Representatives, has emerged as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate for the Kaduna North Federal Constituency after winning the party’s primary election unopposed.
In a statement released on Saturday, Bello, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, disclosed that he received 7,727 votes during the primary election.
Expressing gratitude to party leaders, delegates, stakeholders, and supporters, the lawmaker described his emergence as the ADC flag bearer as a great honour and a reflection of the confidence reposed in him.
“I am deeply honoured and humbled to emerge unopposed as the ADC candidate for Kaduna North Federal Constituency with a total of 7,727 votes. I sincerely appreciate the leadership of the party, delegates, stakeholders, supporters, and the good people of Kaduna North for this overwhelming show of trust," he said.
Bello noted that he has served the constituency diligently over the past three years and pledged to continue working in the interest of the people.
Addressing his recent defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the ADC, he maintained that while he was a member of the APC, he neither supported nor funded opposition parties.
“There is still honour in politics, and I hope to reflect that. Now that I am in the ADC, I will proudly campaign for our party and continue to stand by its ideals. We fear no one,” he said.
Bello El-Rufai was elected to represent Kaduna North Federal Constituency on the APC platform in the 2023 general election.
