The Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Doguwa, has been reelected as the representative of the Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency in Kano.
The Returning Officer of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Sani Ibrahim, who announced the results on Saturday, said the lawmaker secured 41,573 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Yushau Salisu of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, who got 34,831 votes.
The Saturday supplementary election was held in eight wards in Tudunwada LGA.
Doguwa was earlier declared winner of the February 25 election for the federal constituency but later declared it inconclusive following reports of overvoting and disruption of voting in some polling units in the area.
With this victory, Doguwa will be serving his fifth term when the 10th assembly is inaugurated in June.
