The Supreme Court on Friday nullified the election of all candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Zamfara State.
In its judgment, the apex court ruled that the party did not hold valid primaries to choose its candidates for the elections and, therefore, declared the party and candidates that came second as winners in February 23 and March 9 elections.
At the end of the elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had declared APC winner of all the electoral seats in state; the governorship/deputy governorship positions, three senatorial positions, seven House of Representatives seats and 24 House of Assembly seats.
However, by virtue of the Supreme Court decision, all the posts have reverted to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidates, being the party that came second in the elections.
Below is a full list of those sacked by the Supreme Court ruling:

Muktar Idris
