The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal, in the result announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Gusau in the early hours of Tuesday, defeated Governor Bello Matawalle in the Saturday governorship election.
Lawal won the governorship election with 377,726 votes, while Governor Matawalle, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had 311,976 votes.
