Senator Kabiru Marafa has secured the governorship ticket of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Zamfara State for the 2027 general elections.
This development followed a consensus agreement during a meeting held in Gusau, the state capital.
The chairman of the party’s electoral committee, Aminu Jelani, officially declared him as the NDC candidate.
In his response after the declaration, Marafa thanked party members for their support and promised to provide responsible leadership if elected governor.
He said corruption has slowed development in Zamfara and pledged to promote accountability and the prudent management of public funds.
He also vowed to improve governance, raise living standards for residents, and provide equal opportunities for people across the state.
Spear News Nigeria recalls that the former senator recently joined the NDC after leaving the ADC, a move earlier confirmed by party leader Seriake Dickson.
According to a statement from the party, Marafa agreed to help strengthen the NDC and lead its activities in Zamfara State.
