Announcing the results, the chairman of the Zamfara State Independent Electoral Commission (ZASIEC), Hon. Bala Aliyu Gusau, declared the election free, fair, and peaceful.
He noted that representatives of all contesting political parties were present during the vote count, and no objections were raised regarding the conduct of the election.
“The election was free, fair, credible, and peaceful. No political party raised any objection over the process,” Gusau stated.
He further assured that the results of Birnin Magaji and Kaura Namoda LGAs would be announced on Sunday.
Following this, the winners would receive their certificates of return and be sworn in at the Government House on the same day.
