Aminu Sani Jaji Wins APC Ticket for 2027 Elections

Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji (Rep, Kaura-Namoda/Birnin Magaji) has reclaimed the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the 2027 general elections by winning a court-ordered fresh primary election held on November 11, 2026. Jaji received 26,646 votes in total, with the rerun conducted across the Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency in Zamfara State.

The APC Electoral Committee chairman, Hon. Kabiru Idris, announced the results at the Kaura Namoda Collation Centre. Out of 42,266 registered APC members, 27,389 were accredited, and 27,359 votes were counted.

Jaji's closest competitor, Hassan Umar Dangaladima, garnered only 713 votes, while Musa Zubairu did not receive any votes. In the breakdown, Jaji scored 14,264 votes in Kaura Namoda and 12,382 votes in Birnin Magaji.

The rerun was necessitated by a legal challenge from Dangaladima, which led to the nullification of Jaji's previous nomination. Jaji's victory solidifies his position to contest the upcoming elections on the APC platform.
