Jaji Wins Zamfara APC Primary Rerun With Overwhelming Margin
Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji secured 26,646 votes in the November 11 APC primary election for Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency in Zamfara State.
Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji has won a fresh primary election conducted by the All Progressives Congress in Zamfara State's Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency. The incumbent lawmaker polled 26,646 votes on November 11, 2026, in a rerun primary that was ordered following a court decision that cancelled his earlier nomination.
The APC Electoral Committee, chaired by Hon. Kabiru Idris, supervised the voting process at the collation centre in Kaura Namoda. Out of 42,266 registered party members in the constituency, 27,389 were accredited to vote.
The final tally showed 27,359 votes cast, with Jaji capturing the vast majority of the ballots. Jaji's nearest competitor received 713 votes according to one account, indicating a decisive victory margin.
The rerun became necessary after legal proceedings nullified the results of the initial primary election. Sources note that multiple other aspirants also contested the seat alongside Jaji's closest challenger.
The congressman has represented Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji in the House of Representatives and now holds the party's ticket for the next general election cycle in the constituency. The electoral committee confirmed that all requirements for declaring a winner were satisfied during the November 11 exercise.
