A Federal High Court sitting in Gusau, Zamfara State has nullified for the second time, the governorship primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which produced Dauda Lawal Dare.
Justice Aminu Bappa, the presiding judge, also ruled that the party will not field any governorship candidate for the 2023 governorship election.
In September 2022, the court nullified the party’s primary election that produced Dauda Lawal Dare as the governorship candidate. The court cited irregularities that characterized the process.
The court said the election was nullified because women were not represented as delegates.
In the rerun primary election, Dauda Lawal Dare also won with over 400 votes. But a contestant, Shehu Bakaoye again rejected the election.
