“In all 34 local government areas, the APC won the chairmanship and councillorship elections with wide margins.”
According to The Punch, Alhassan made this known while announcing the results at the commission’s headquarters on Sunday, February 16.
He said Accord (A), African Action Congress (AAC), African Democratic Congress (ADC), All Progressives Congress (APC), and Boot Party (BP) are the political parties that participated in the elections.
Alhassan said some local governments failed to submit their results on time on the day of the election.
He explained that the compilation could not be completed on the day of the election leading to the delay in announcing the results.
“As of midnight yesterday, only 24 local government areas out of the 34 had submitted their results to the commission.
“The ten local government areas that submitted their results today include Batsari, Charanchi, Dandume, Daura, Funtua, Kankia, Katsina, Mani, Dutsinma, and Sabuwa."
Reacting to the results, the Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Katsina State Chapter, Salima Boyi, said the group had conceded defeat in the interest of democracy and the state’s development.
Boyi stated this during a press briefing on Sunday, February 16, 2025.
“While we may have had our differences and concerns, we have conceded defeat and recognise the significant strides made in promoting democracy in our dear state.”
