INEC Confirms Shinkafi as ADC Candidate for Zamfara 2027
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) confirmed Bilyaminu Aliyu Shinkafi as the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Zamfara State for the upcoming 2027 general elections. This confirmation was announced when Shinkafi's name appeared on the final list of candidates at the INEC state office in Gusau on Saturday.
The decision resolves a crisis within the ADC that began when the state chairman, Surajo Garba Gusau, announced Ibrahim Salisu Mafara as the party's candidate. With INEC's confirmation, Shinkafi is now positioned to contest against Governor Dauda Lawal of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other candidates in the election.
In a telephone interview, Shinkafi praised INEC for upholding due process and called for unity among ADC members to ensure the party's success in the 2027 election. He emphasized the importance of collaboration and progress within the party as they prepare for the governorship contest.
