Zamfara State PDP Governorship Candidate, Dauda Lawal-Dare
By Our Reporter
The Federal High Court in Gusau, Zamfara State, has nullified the Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship primary election in the state.
Justice Aminu Bappa also ruled that PDP would not field any candidate for the 2023 governorship election in the state.
The primary had produced Dauda Lawal-Dare as the governorship candidate of party.
It was nullified on the grounds of irregularities and non-compliance with the party’s 2017 Constitution as well as its electoral guidelines for the conduct of elections.
This is the second time that the court will nullify PDP governorship primary in Zamfara.
In September, the court nullified the previous primary that elected Lawal-Dare following a suit filed before by Ibrahim Shehu and two other aspirants challenging the credibility of the primary.
The court ordered a re-run but Lawal-Dare emerged winner at the re-run also in September.
