November 08, (THEWILL) – The Federal High Court sitting in Gusau, Zamfara State capital, on Tuesday, nullified the governorship primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that produced Dauda Lawal-Dare, as the governorship candidate of the party in the state.
Justice Aminu Bappa also ruled that the PDP will not field any candidate for the 2023 governorship election in the state.
This is the second time that the court will nullify the PDP governorship primary in Zamfara.
In September, the court nullified the previous primary that elected Lawal-Dare, following a suit filed by Ibrahim Shehu and two other aspirants, challenging the credibility of the primary.
The court ordered a re-run, but Lawal-Dare emerged winner at the re-run also in September.
