During the elections in Zamfara state, the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) had what it considered to be a clean sweep but all gone contrary on Friday as the highest court in the state awarded the ruling party’s votes to the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
It was learnt that the internal crisis that prevented the party from holding it’s primary elections could probably be the cause of this massive loss for the party.
We also understands that in all, the APC lost seven house of representatives seats, three senatorial positions, 24 house of assembly seats, and governorship.
