The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has secured victory in the Bagwai/Shanono State Assembly by-election held on Saturday.
NNPP candidate Ali Alhassan emerged as the winner with 16,198 votes, defeating his closest rival from the All Progressives Congress (APC), who garnered 5,347 votes.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Returning Officer, Prof. Hassan Shitu, announced the results on Sunday.
The by-election was necessitated by the death of the former lawmaker representing the constituency, leaving a vacant seat in the Kano State House of Assembly.
