The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara says it will challenge some elective positions presently being occupied by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
The state Chairman of the party, Alhaji Lawali Liman, disclosed this at a press briefing held at the partyโs state Secretariat in Gusau, on Wednesday.
All elective positions from the 2019 general elections in the state were earlier declared for the APC until a Supreme Court ruling nullified it.
The court ruled over irregularities from the partyโs primaries ahead of the general elections and declared the parties with the second highest votes in the elections as winners.
โWe held a meeting recently with the partyโs National Chairman in Abuja who informed me that our party has a window to challenge the action of the INEC following the Supreme Court ruling that nullified our election in the state.
โSince the matter taken to the court revolved around irregularities of primaries, we had 13 candidates for the state House of Assembly, three for the Senate and two for the House of Representativesโ
This were those who contested unopposed and the primaries did not affect them.
โINEC was too hasty to declare the party with the second highest votes because the exact directive of the Supreme Court was that the next party with the โrequisite spread should be declared and by these, our issues were not taken into consideration,โ he said.
Liman, however, said that the APC was looking into the matter with a view of seeking redress.
