Jamila Mani, the Special Assistant on Girl Child Education and Development to the Katsina State Governor, has clinched the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the Mani/Bindawa Federal Constituency. The primary election took place on Saturday as part of the party’s National Assembly primaries leading up to the 2027 general elections.
Mani secured a commanding victory over her closest opponent, Ahmed Saleh, by amassing 24,989 votes against Saleh’s 1,256 votes. This decisive win underscores her strong support within the constituency.
Meanwhile, in other constituencies across Katsina State, the APC conducted its primaries through affirmation following a consensus reached among stakeholders earlier. The party is currently holding House of Representatives primaries in various states in preparation for the 2027 polls.
