During the elections in Zamfara state, the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) had what it considered to be a clean sweep but all gone south on Friday as the highest court in the state awarded the ruling party’s votes to the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Igbere Tv reports.
Igbere Tv learnt that the internal crisis that prevented the party from holding it’s primary elections could probably be the cause of this massive loss for the party.
