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.

n

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

n

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

n

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

n

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.

n

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.

n

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

n

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