Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji has emerged victorious in the fresh All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election for the Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency in Zamfara State, recording a landslide victory over two other aspirants.
Jaji, the incumbent member representing the constituency in the House of Representatives, polled 26,646 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Hassan Umar Dangaladima, who secured 713 votes. The third aspirant, Musa Zubairu, scored no votes.
The result of the fresh primary election, conducted on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, was announced by the Chairman of the APC Electoral Committee for the exercise, Hon. Kabiru Idris, at the Kaura Namoda Collation Centre.
Giving a breakdown of the exercise, Idris disclosed that the constituency had 42,266 registered APC members, out of whom 27,389 were accredited to vote, while 27,359 votes were recorded as cast.
Declaring Jaji the winner, the committee chairman said, “Having satisfied the requirements of the law,the APC constitution Guidelines, Hon. Kabiru Idris, hereby declare Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji as the winner of the fresh primary election”
A breakdown of the results across the two local government areas showed that Jaji secured 14,264 votes in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area, while Dangaladima polled 465 votes. Zubairu recorded zero votes.
In Birnin Magaji Local Government Area, Jaji garnered 12,382 votes against Dangaladima’s 248 votes, while Zubairu again scored zero.
The combined results gave Jaji 26,646 votes, Dangaladima 713 votes and Zubairu zero votes.
The fresh primary election followed a suit instituted by Dangaladima at the Federal High Court, Abuja, which nullified Jaji’s earlier nomination and ordered the APC to conduct another primary election within two weeks.
In compliance with the court’s directive, the APC National Headquarters scheduled the fresh exercise for November 11, 2026, leading to Wednesday’s rerun in which Jaji secured another victory.
