The Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Bukkuyum/Gummi Federal Constituency in Zamfara State, Alhaji Sulaiman Gummi, was declared winner of the supplementary election conducted on Saturday.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that INEC declared initial poll inconclusive due to cancellation of election results.
This was due to over voting and violence at some polling units.
The INEC Collation Officer for the supplementary election, Dr. Lawal Sa’ad, said Gummi scored 35,664 votes to defeat his closest opponent of the All Progressives Congress, Ahmad Muhammad, who scored 35,058 votes.
Sa’ad said Gummi, having scored the highest number of votes and satisfied the requirements of the law, emerged as winner of the election.
