The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Zamfara State has successfully conducted its state delegates’ congress, electing a new Executive Committee to steer the party toward the 2027 general elections. The event took place in Gusau, the state capital, drawing hundreds of delegates, party elders, and stakeholders.
The congress was marked by orderliness and peaceful conduct, with participants maintaining decorum throughout. Officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security operatives were present to oversee the process and ensure a smooth exercise.
At the conclusion of the congress, Alhaji Surajo Garba Mai Katako, a close associate of former Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, emerged as the party’s new state chairman. Sources within the party attribute the recent surge in NDC membership across Zamfara’s 14 local government areas to Senator Marafa’s defection to the party.
Senator Marafa, who previously represented Zamfara Central in the Senate, is recognized as a pivotal figure in the NDC’s expanding influence in the state as the next election cycle approaches.
