The All Progressives Congress has won all the chairmanship positions in Saturday’s local council election in Zamfara State.
The Chairman of the Zamfara State Independent Electoral Commission, Alhaji Garba Muhammad, said on Sunday in Gusau that all the candidates of the party in the 14 councils had met all the provisions of the electoral law and had been declared winners of the election in their respective councils.
Muhammad said 14 political parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party, participated in the election.
The PDP, however, in a statement signed by its state Chairman, Alhaji Hassan Nasiha, on eve of the election, said it was boycotting the poll.
The party also said since it was still challenging the election of the Governor Abdulaziz Yari at the Supreme Court, it would, therefore, not participate in the election.
Muhammad commended all stakeholders, including security agencies, for ensuring the success of the election.
