The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Governorship Candidate in Zamfara, Dr Ahmad Hashim on Wednesday hailed judgment of the Federal High Court, Gusau which nullified the governorship primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
The Federal High Court sitting in Gusau on Tuesday nullified the Primaries held on Sept. 23 that produced Dr Dauda Lawal-Dare as PDP Governorship candidate in the state.
Delieving judgment, Aminu Bappa-Aliyu said that the PDP lost the opportunity to field a candidate in the 2023 polls for failing to conduct Primaries inline with the guidelines of the Electoral Act 2022 as amended.
The same court had earlier on Sept 16, nullified the first exercise, following alleged irregularities in the Governorship primaries conducted on May 25.
