Following Nigeria's apex court ruling on the 2019 general elections in Zamfara state, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has issued Certificates of Return to the new winners of the polls in the state.
INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu on Monday, issued certificates to the Governor, Deputy Governor-elect, and Senators-elect at the Commission’s Electoral Institute in Abuja.
He disclosed that there are a total of 809 pre-election cases pending in various courts, challenging the conducts of primaries by political parties.
The electoral umpire appeal to political parties to conduct proper primaries before elections in order to reduce the spate of litigation associated with them.
