ADC Aspirant Bashir Adamu Rejects Jigawa Primary Results

Bashir Adamu, a governorship aspirant for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Jigawa State, has rejected the results of the party's primary elections held across 27 local government areas. Adamu, a former member of the House of Representatives for Kazaur, Roni, Gwiwa, and Yankwashi Federal Constituency, accused party officials of interference and compromising the electoral process.

He claimed that the primary elections, which took place on May 27, 2026, were flawed and undemocratic, citing irregularities such as delayed delivery of electoral materials and intimidation by political thugs. Adamu received 19,537 votes, while Sabo Muhammad Nakudu emerged as the party's candidate with 35,939 votes.

He submitted a petition to the state electoral appeal committee on June 3, 2026, requesting the cancellation of the primary and the conduct of fresh elections. Adamu expressed confidence that the appeal committee would address the issues raised in his petition.
