A Federal High Court sitting in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, has nullified the election of Dauda Lawan-Dare as the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s governorship candidate in the state.

Similarly, the court also disqualified the PDP from fielding a candidate.

The Presiding Judge, Justice Aminu Bappa, while delivering the judgement on Tuesday, ruled that the PDP will not field any candidate for the 2023 governorship election in the state.

This was the second time that the court would nullify the PDP governorship primary in Zamfara.

Okay.ng recalls that in September this year, the court nullified the election of Lawal-Dare following a suit filed before it by Ibrahim Shehu and two other aspirants challenging the credibility of the primary.

The court ordered a re-run election where Lawal-Dare also re-emerged as the winner but his opponent, Ibrahim Shehu, went to court again to challenge the election.

Justice Bappa, therefore, ruled that the re- election of Dare was also characterised by a series of irregularities and as such, it was nullified while the PDP was disqualified from contesting the governorship election in 2023.
