Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has won the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential primaries held in Kano State.
Announcing the outcome, chairman of the electoral committee, Dr. John Ayuba, said the exercise was successfully conducted across the 44 local government areas and 484 wards of the state.
The collated results showed that Atiku polled 155,595 votes to emerge ahead of other contenders. Mohammed Hayatu-Deen secured 15,914 votes, while Rotimi Amaechi received 9,994 votes.
Dr. Ayuba explained that the results would be forwarded to the party’s National Coalition Centre in Abuja for ratification and official confirmation of the party’s presidential candidate.
He urged party members to remain united and committed ahead of the 2027 general elections to ensure the ADC produces Nigeria’s next president.
Meanwhile, the party has delayed the announcement of results for the Kano governorship primaries pending further directives from the national leadership.
The governorship race is being contested by Ibrahim Ali Amin Little and Malam Ibrahim Khalil, with the party reportedly considering a consensus arrangement to choose its candidate.
