Rep. Aminu Jaji (APC-Zamfara) has won the fresh primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency in Zamfara State.
Recall that the Federal High Court in Abuja recently nullified the primary election that produced Jaji as the APC candidate for the constituency.
The court ordered the APC to conduct a fresh primary election within 14 days, to be monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Jaji is the incumbent member of the House of Representatives for Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency in Zamfara
