At the end of the exercise, Nura Khalil, the 2023 New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, governorship candidate, emerged as the PDP candidate for Katsina South Senatorial District.
Similarly, Hon. Aliyu Abdulmumini Abdullahi secured the party’s ticket for Daura Senatorial District, while Hon. Hamisu Gambo clinched the nomination for Katsina Central Senatorial District.
The primaries were held simultaneously across the three senatorial zones and were monitored by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, alongside party officials and delegates from the affected local government areas.
Speaking after his emergence, Khalil expressed appreciation to party leaders and delegates for the confidence reposed in him, pledging to strengthen the PDP in Katsina South ahead of the 2027 elections.
