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