Jaji Wins APC Rerun Primary For Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency

Aminu Sani Jaji has won the All Progressives Congress (APC) rerun primary election for Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency in Zamfara State, securing an overwhelming majority of the votes.

Jaji, the incumbent member representing the constituency in the House of Representatives, polled 26,646 votes to defeat two other aspirants in the fresh primary conducted on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.

The Chairman of the APC Electoral Committee for the rerun election, Kabiru Idris, announced the results at the collation centre in Kaura Namoda.

According to the committee, Hassan Umar Dangaladima came second with 713 votes, while Musa Zubairu scored no votes.

The constituency had 42,266 registered party members, with 27,389 accredited voters and 27,359 votes cast.

Breaking down the results, Idris said Jaji secured 14,264 votes in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area, against Dangaladima’s 465 votes, while Zubairu scored zero.

In Birnin Magaji, Jaji polled 12,382 votes, while Dangaladima received 248 votes. Zubairu again scored zero.

Declaring Jaji the winner, Idris said he had satisfied the requirements of the law, the APC constitution and the party’s electoral guidelines.

The rerun followed a suit filed by Dangaladima at the Federal High Court in Abuja, which nullified Jaji’s earlier nomination and ordered the party to conduct a fresh primary within two weeks.

The APC national leadership subsequently scheduled the rerun for Wednesday, November 11, in compliance with the court order.

Jaji’s victory positions him to fly the APC flag in the Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency in the January 2027 general election.
