Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji has emerged victorious in the fresh APC primary election for the Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency in Zamfara State, polling 26,646 votes.
His closest rival, Hassan Umar Dangaladima, secured 713 votes, while Musa Zubairu failed to record a single vote in the election held on Wednesday, 11 November 2026.
Announcing the results at the Kaura Namoda Collation Centre, the Chairman of the APC Electoral Committee, Hon. Kabiru Idris, declared Jaji the winner after confirming that the exercise complied with the relevant legal provisions, the party’s constitution and electoral guidelines.
The constituency recorded 27,389 accredited voters out of 42,266 registered party members, with 27,359 votes cast.
A breakdown showed that Jaji won 14,264 votes in Kaura Namoda and 12,382 in Birnin Magaji. Dangaladima received 465 and 248 votes, respectively.
The rerun was conducted following a legal challenge by Dangaladima at the Federal High Court in Abuja, which nullified Jaji’s earlier nomination and directed the APC to hold another primary within two weeks.
The party’s national leadership subsequently fixed 11 November for the fresh exercise, which has now returned Jaji as the party’s candidate for the federal constituency.
