Matawalle Set to Return to Zamfara Government House As Appeal Court Sacks Lawal Orders Rerun

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has voided the election of Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Lawal the winner of the March 18 governorship election.

But the All Progressives Congress (APC) challenged the victory of Lawal, who ran under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The tribunal had upheld Lawal’s election, but the APC proceeded to the Appeal Court.

On Thursday, a three-member panel of justices annulled the victory of Lawal and ordered a rerun of the election in three local government areas.

The affected LGAs are Maradun, Birnin Magaji and Bukuyun.

According to reports, the three local governments are Matawalle strongholds and capable of returning him to the Zamfara Government House.
