APC won 22 of the 25 chairmanship seats in the council’s polls on Thursday, November 10, 2022. The Niger State Independent Electoral Commission (NSIEC) confirmed this after the outcome of the state’s Local Government Area Council elections.
While announcing the election results in Minna, the state capital, NSIEC Director Operations, Comrade Ibrahim Aliyu Tunganwawa, said that the results of the remaining three LGs are being awaited, adding that 13 political parties took part in the election.
“Due to some problems experienced during the conduct of the local government councils election, NSIEC will conduct rerun elections in two wards of Rafi and Kontagora Local Government Councils.

“The two wards are that of Kusherki and Tungan Kawo, scheduled to hold this Sunday,” Tunganwawa had said in November, describing the local government council’s election as peaceful and orderly despite some minor hitches.
