Jaji Wins APC Primary for Zamfara Constituency Election

Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji (Rep, Kaura-Namoda/Birnin Magaji) emerged victorious in the APC primary election for the Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency in Zamfara State, polling 26,646 votes on 11 November 2026. His closest rival, Hassan Umar Dangaladima, garnered 713 votes, while Musa Zubairu did not receive any votes.

The results were announced by Hon. Kabiru Idris, Chairman of the APC Electoral Committee, at the Kaura Namoda Collation Centre, confirming compliance with legal provisions and party guidelines. The election saw 27,389 accredited voters out of 42,266 registered party members, with a total of 27,359 votes cast.

Jaji's breakdown included 14,264 votes from Kaura Namoda and 12,382 from Birnin Magaji, while Dangaladima received 465 and 248 votes, respectively. The rerun was necessitated by a legal challenge from Dangaladima at the Federal High Court in Abuja, which nullified Jaji's earlier nomination and mandated a new primary within two weeks.
