The Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), has declared Dr Alhassan Ishaq of the (NNPP) winner of the election in the Kura/Garun Malam Constituency.

The returning officer of the election, Prof. Shehu Galadanchi, announced that Ishaq of NNPP polled 37,262 votes to beat Musa Daurawa of the All Progressives Congress(APC) who scored 30,803 votes.

Similarly, the INEC declared Bello Butu-Butu of the NNPP, the winner of the re-run election held at Rimin Gado/Tofa State Constituency.

According to the returning officer of the election, Prof. Ibrahim Tajo Suraj Butu-Butu polled 31,135 votes to beat his opponent of the APC who received 25,577 votes.

The Court of Appeal had also directed INEC to conduct a re-run election in Rimin Gado/Tofa, Kura/Garun Malam, and Kunchi/Tsanyawa State Constituencies.
