The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate , Governor Aminu Tambuwal has emerged the winner of the elections in Sokoto State and he is going to be re-elected.
Aminu Tambuwal narrowly defeated his major opponent, Ahmad Aliyu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who was his former deputy governor.
After the March 9 elections and the supplementary elections which held yesterday, Tambuwal polled in total, 512,002 votes and Aliyu secured 511,661 votes with a slim margin of 341 votes giving the incumbent the edge.
Both men were of the APC until Mr Tambuwal defected to the PDP.
The results of all the local governments where supplementary elections were held in Sokoto have now been announced at the state collation centre.
A final declaration by INEC that Mr Tambuwal has won the election is expected any minute from now.
