The All Progressives Congress (APC) has emerged victorious in the Ghari/Tsanyawa supplementary election in Kano State, securing a crucial win in the hotly contested race.
Professor Muhammad Waziri of Bayero University, serving as the Returning Officer, announced the final results on Sunday. APC candidate Garba Gwarmai triumphed with 31,472 votes, narrowly defeating his closest rival, Yusuf Maigado of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), who garnered 27,931 votes.
The supplementary poll was held after the initial election in the constituency was declared inconclusive. Gwarmai’s victory, achieved with a margin of 3,541 votes, strengthens the APC’s foothold in Kano as the party seeks to consolidate its influence in the region.
The outcome underscores the competitive political landscape in Kano, where the APC continues to challenge the NNPP’s dominance.
