<p>Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has emerged victorious in the presidential primaries of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) held in Kano State, securing an overwhelming majority of votes cast across the state’s 484 wards.</p>
<p>Announcing the results in Kano on Tuesday, Dr. John Ayuba, a representative of the ADC national headquarters, declared that Atiku polled 155,995 votes to defeat his closest rivals in the keenly contested exercise.</p>
<p>According to the official figures released at the end of the collation process:</p><div class="XuAzzqE8" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Rotimi Amaechi — 15,914 votes</p>
<p>Mohammed Hayatu-Deen — 9,994 votes</p>
<p>Dr. Ayuba stated that the primary election was conducted peacefully across all the 484 wards in Kano State, with party officials and delegates participating in the democratic process.</p>
<p>Speaking shortly after the announcement, he said the outcome of the Kano exercise would now be transmitted to the ADC national leadership for final collation and ratification.</p>
<p>“The election was conducted in the 484 wards of Kano State. We are going to forward the results to the national headquarters, and from there we will know who becomes the presidential flagbearer of the party,” he said.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>The outcome further strengthens Atiku’s influence within the party structure in Kano, one of Nigeria’s most politically significant states with a large voting population.</p>
<p>Political observers say the margin of victory recorded by the former vice president reflects his strong grassroots support and established political network in northern Nigeria ahead of the next general election.</p>
<p>Supporters of Atiku who gathered at the venue of the announcement celebrated the victory, describing it as a sign of confidence in his leadership experience and national appeal.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, party officials urged members to remain united after the exercise and work towards strengthening the ADC ahead of the presidential election.</p>
<p>The ADC national headquarters is expected to compile results from other states before making an official declaration on the party’s presidential candidate.</p>
