INEC has declared Governor Babagana Zulum as the winner of Borno State’s governorship election.

Mr Zulum, who is the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the election, polled 545, 543 votes to defeat his closest rival, Mohammed Jajari of the PDP, who polled 82, 147 votes.

The INEC returning officer for the election, Jude Rabo, made the declaration in Maiduguri, the state capital.

Mr Zulum polled the majority votes in all the 27 local government areas of the state to emerge as the winner of the contest that earned him a second term of four years.

A total of 650, 533 persons were accredited across the state out of which 633, 646 were declared as the total valid votes.

Mr Zulum earned his second term with a lower voter endorsement rate from the electorate despite his widely hailed achievements in the last three years and nine months. He had in 2019 polled 1,175, 440 votes as against the 545,543 votes he scored in the 2023 election.
