BREAKING: APC’s Daniel Nuhu clinches Kwali chairmanship

Daniel Nuhu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has emerged winner of the Kwali Area Council chairmanship election, polling 17,032 votes.

Nuhu defeated Haruna Pai of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who secured 8,575 votes to place second in the contest.

The results were announced on Sunday morning by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the final collation centre in Kwali. Elections were conducted across all ten wards of the area council on Saturday.
