Aminu Sani Jaji won the All Progressives Congress (APC) rerun primary for the Kaura-Namoda/Birnin Magaji federal constituency in Zamfara State on 11 November, with 26,646 votes against 713 for Hassan Umar Dangaladima. Musa Zubairu received no votes, according to the results announced by Kabiru Idris, chairman of the APC electoral committee for the primary.
Of the 42,266 registered party members in the constituency, 27,389 were accredited and 27,359 votes were cast, according to Kabiru Idris. Jaji received 14,264 votes in Kaura-Namoda and 12,382 in Birnin Magaji, compared with 465 and 248 votes respectively for Dangaladima.
The rerun primary was organised after a decision by the Federal High Court in Abuja cancelling Jaji’s previous nomination following a complaint by Dangaladima and ordering the APC to hold a new election within two weeks. The APC national leadership set the election for 11 November to comply with the decision, according to Vanguard.
The election comes after an aspirant’s complaint to the APC against a primary committee, announced on 10 November 2026, concerning the primary in Zamfara State.
