The 2019 Zamfara State gubernatorial election occurred on 9 March 2019.[1][2][3][4] APC's Mukhtar Shehu Idris polled 67.41% of the total popular votes, defeating PDP's Bello Matawalle who got 23.89% of the total votes and trailed behind by a margin of 345,089 votes, and several minor party candidates. APC swept the entire 14 LGAs of the state, winning in all.[5][6][7] It was, however, Matawalle, who was later declared winner by the INEC and sworn in as governor after the verdict of the Supreme Court,[8][9][10] which declared Idris' votes as 'wasted'.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]
Idris was announced winner at the gubernatorial primary, to avoid reaching INEC's deadline after a parallel election was organised by the out-going governor.[26]
Bello Matawalle emerged winner in the PDP gubernatorial primary election. His running mate was Mahdi Mohammed Gusau.[27]
Of the 42 candidates who aspired for the governorship seat, 40 were male, two were female.[11]
