PDP Debunks Kaduna Governorship Election Results
By Abdullahi Ahmad Bamalli
The results of the most recent governor’s election in Kaduna were refuted by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Senator Ubu Sani, a candidate for governor on the All Progressive Congress (APC), was declared the victor of the March 18 election on Monday night by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The retraction was revealed on Tuesday in Kaduna during a press conference by the state PDP chairman Felix Hyet.

“Our fears were confirmed last night when the State Returning Officer, Prof. Lawal Bilbis, declared Sen. Uba Sani of the APC as winner with 730,002 votes against 719,196 votes allocated to our candidate, Isa Ashiru.
“The PDP rejects this declaration. We reject INEC’s claims that Uba Sani won the gubernatorial election held on the 18th of March, 2023,” Hyet declared.
The party’s chairman thanked the party’s supporters for their assistance in helping PDP win the election.
He reassured them that the group would do everything possible to restore its original mission.
“We have commenced actions necessary and in accordance with the law with a view to addressing the development,” he said.
Mr Hyet, however, called on the party supporters to continue to support and pray for the PDP as it pursues the matter to a logical conclusion.
