Majority leader of the House of Representatives, Alhasan Ado Doguwa, has been declared winner of Doguwa and Tudunwada Federal Constituency.
The Returning Officer, Professor Sani Ibrahim, who announced the result at the just concluded supplementary elections held across eight wards in Tudunwada local government, said Doguwa scored the highest votes cast.
He garnered 41,573 votes.
His closest rival, Yushau Salisu of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), polled 34,831 votes.
The February 25 election was declared inconclusive in the constituency due to violence and over voting.
The Returning Officer for the election on February 25, Ibrahim Adamu Yakasai, had reported that he announced the result under duress.
Yakasai had initially declared Doguwa the winner, but INEC subsequently voided the process.
Doguwa, who has now retained his seat in the green chamber, making it his fifth term, is believed to be among the top contenders for the position of speaker.
