The election, initially declared inconclusive on August 16 following the cancellation of votes in five polling units, was concluded with a rerun on Thursday, August 21, in Sakajiki and Kyambarawa wards.
Announcing the final results, the Returning Officer, Prof. Lawal Sa’ad, said Sa’idu polled 8,182 votes to defeat his closest rival from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who secured 5,544 votes.
