“While we may have had our differences and concerns, we have conceded defeat and acknowledged the significant strides made in promoting democracy in our dear state,” he said.

Five political parties—Accord, African Action Congress, African Development Congress, All Progressives Congress, and Booth Party—participated in the election. Announcing the results at the commission’s headquarters, the Chairman of the Katsina State Independent Electoral Commission, Lawal Alhassan, declared that APC had secured victory in all 34 chairmanship and 361 councillorship positions in the state.
