The Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, has won the Sokoto State governorship election.

He defeated his All Progressives Congress, APC, opponent, Aliyu Ahmed, at the end of the collation of results of the supplementary election held on Saturday.

Declaring Tambuwal the winner, the Returning Officer, Fatimah Mukhtar, said he won with a margin of 342 votes.

Tambuwal recorded 512,002 votes against Ahmed’s 511,660 votes.

Ahmed was Tambuwal’s deputy before Tambuwal defected to the PDP.
