The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared Bello Matawalle of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winner of Zamfara state governorship election.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\nMahmood Yakubu, INEC chairman, announced this during a press conference in Abuja on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He also said\u00a0 the party won in all elective positions in the state.<\/p>\n

He said this followed the supreme court decision sacking all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the general election.<\/p>\n

The apex court had ruled the party did not hold a valid primary election and subsequently voided its votes.<\/p>\n

Matawalle had scored 189,452 to emerge second in the governorship election.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
