BREAKING: Appeal Court declares Zamfara governorship election inconclusive, orders rerun in 3 LGAs

The Court of Appeal, Abuja, on Thursday, declared the March 18 governorship election in Zamfara State as inconclusive.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on March 20 declared Dauda Lawal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner of the election ahead of the incumbent governor, Bello Matawalle.

Matawalle, the minister of state for defence, later approached the state election petition tribunal, citing widespread fraud in the exercise.
