The Abuja division of the Court of Appeal has declared the Zamfara State governorship election inconclusive.
In a marathon judgment that stretched for hours, the three-member panel of the appellate court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), to conduct fresh elections in three Local Government Areas of the state within 90 days.
The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared Dauda Lawal of the Peoples Democratic Party winner of the election.
The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Bello Matawalle, had challenged the outcome of the March 18 governorship election at the tribunal, but his petition was dismissed for lacking in merit.
Delivering the judgment on Thursday, the Court of Appeal declared the election as inconclusive and ordered INEC to hold a fresh election in three Local Government Areas of the state.
