The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Saturday’s senatorial by-election in Katsina, Ahmad Babba-Kaita, is the winner from what the released results show.
The Independent National Electoral Commission is soon to formally declare the winner.
But its released results, already pastes at the collation centre, show that Mr Babba-Kaita, currently a member of the House of Representatives, polled 224, 607 votes to beat five other contestants.
His closest rival, who is his elder brother, Kabir Babba-Kaita, was only able to garner 59, 724 votes. The elder Babba-Kaita was the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The other results show that GPN scores 1056, DA got 796, MPN secured 633 while MMN got 343 votes to emerge third, fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.
The seat became vacant in April following the death of Senator Mustapha Bukar.

Two brothers contesting for the same position. What stops one from supporting the other if not to contest? You see why I always say Nigeria can never be redeemed with people and mentality like this. So it was actually a family contest? Too bad.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong for two brothers contesting against each other, as it also obtainable in western world. David and Edward Miliband did contest labour leadership way back in 2010 in UK.
DeleteJust imagine because of money and position
