APC wins Kano Assembly bye-election

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has won the Dawakin Kudu/Warawa State Constituency bye-election in Kano State, with its candidate, Hussaini Yusuf Datti, securing 22,890 votes.

Datti emerged winner ahead of the other candidates who contested the election.

The results showed that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) polled 180 votes, while the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) received 270 votes.

The Action Peoples Party (APP) recorded 53 votes, while the Labour Party (LP) secured 39 votes.

The by-election was conducted to fill the vacant Dawakin Kudu State Constituency seat in the Kano State House of Assembly.

The seat became vacant after Shuaibu Rabiu Nagoggo, popularly known as Abba Gano, who represented Dawakin Kudu in the Kano State House of Assembly, won a subsequent election to the House of Representatives.

Nagoggo’s move to the National Assembly followed the death of Alhaji Muhammad Hassan, who represented the Dawakin Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

Hassan died in Abuja on April 10, 2026, at the age of 66, after a period of illness.

His death triggered a federal constituency by-election, which was won by Nagoggo, leaving the Dawakin Kudu State Assembly seat vacant.
