JUST IN: Tambuwal Escapes Defeat By The Whiskers, Wins Sokoto Election

Governor Aminu Tambuwal

Governor Aminu Tambuwal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the incumbent Governor of Sokoto State, has emerged winner in the Sokoto rerun election, having scored the highest votes, polling a total of 512,002 from both the March 9 first ballot and Saturday's supplementary election, held in the State.

Ahmad Aliyu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) came close behind with 511,661, losing to his erstwhile principal with just 341votes.

It could be recalled that Mr Aliyu was Mr Tambuwal’s deputy governor.

However, the two men were of the APC until Mr Tambuwal defected to the PDP.

The results of all the local governments where supplementary elections were held in Sokoto have now been announced at the state collation center.
