The National and State House of Assembly Election Petition Tribunal on Monday affirmed the election of Mudassir Zawachiki of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) as the lawmaker representing Kumbotso Constituency in the Kano State House of Assembly.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Zawachiki as the winner of the March 18 election ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Sagir Abdulkadir-Panshekara.
The APC candidate, however, challenged the outcome of the election over alleged fraud and non-compliance with the electoral act by INEC.
