Marafa emerges NDC governorship candidate in Zamfara

Senator Kabiru Marafa has emerged as the governorship candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Zamfara State ahead of the 2027 election.

Marafa secured the party’s ticket through a consensus agreement during a meeting held in Gusau, the state capital.

The chairman of the party’s electoral committee, Aminu Jelani, officially announced him as the NDC candidate.

Speaking after the announcement, Marafa thanked party members for their support and promised to provide responsible leadership if elected governor.

He said corruption has slowed development in Zamfara and pledged to promote accountability and the prudent management of public funds.

Marafa also promised to improve governance, raise living standards for residents, and provide equal opportunities for people across the state.

The former senator recently joined the NDC after leaving the ADC, a move earlier confirmed by party leader Seriake Dickson.

According to a statement from the party, Marafa agreed to help strengthen the NDC and lead its activities in Zamfara State.
