The Election Outcome
The results were declared by the KSIEC Chairman, Aliyu Mera, at the commission’s headquarters in Birnin Kebbi over the weekend. According to Mera, 17 political parties initially participated in the election, but the major opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), withdrew from the contest, leaving the field open for the APC to dominate.
Formalizing the Victories
Following the announcement of the election results, the State Independent Electoral Commission proceeded to issue certificates of return to all the winning candidates, thereby formalizing their victories and cementing the APC’s stronghold in Kebbi State.
Context of the Election
This election comes at a significant time, as about 20 states across Nigeria have rushed to conduct local government elections following the Supreme Court’s decision in July to grant financial autonomy to the third tier of government. The autonomy ruling has sparked increased political activity at the local level, with various states holding elections to fill critical positions.
Kebbi State, currently governed by the APC administration led by Governor Nasir Idris, is among the states that have swiftly conducted local government elections, further solidifying the party’s influence in the region.
Conclusion
The APC’s complete sweep in Kebbi’s local government elections underscores the party’s dominance in the state. As local governments gain more financial autonomy, the results of these elections could have a significant impact on the governance and development of Kebbi State. The APC’s control of all local government positions places the party in a strong position to implement its policies across the state’s 21 local government areas.
