Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji, who represents Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency, has secured a landslide victory in the All Progressives Congress (APC) fresh primary election held on Wednesday, 11 November 2026.
The Chairman of the APC Electoral Committee for the exercise, Hon. Kabiru Idris, announced the results at the collation centre in Kaura Namoda, Zamfara State.
According to the committee, the constituency had 42,266 registered party members, of whom 27,389 were accredited. A total of 27,359 votes were cast.
Jaji polled 26,646 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Hassan Umar Dangaladima, who secured 713 votes. The third contestant, Musa Zubairu, scored no votes.
In the results announced, Jaji secured 14,264 votes in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area and 12,382 in Birnin Magaji. Dangaladima polled 465 and 248 votes in the respective local government areas.
Declaring Jaji the winner, Idris said he had satisfied the requirements of the law, the APC Constitution and the party’s electoral guidelines.
The fresh primary followed a suit filed by Dangaladima at the Federal High Court in Abuja, which nullified Jaji’s earlier nomination and ordered the party to conduct a rerun within two weeks.
The APC national headquarters subsequently scheduled the fresh primary for 11 November 2026.
