President Muhammadu Buhari has cast his vote in the ongoing gubernatorial and state assembly elections in Daura, Katsina State.

Buhari cast his ballot in Kofar Baru Gidan Niyan, ward Sarkin Yarn A, in Daura.

Buhari was sworn into office as President on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on May 29, 2015, and he was re-elected after winning his reelection bid, defeating his closest rival Atiku Abubakar by over 3 million votes in 2019.

On Monday, May 29, the president’s term comes to an end.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Bola Tinubu is Buhari’s successor as the country’s next leader.

Tinubu won the presidential election on Saturday, February 25, and will be sworn in as president on May 29th.

The president-elect polled 8,794,726 votes to defeat fellow contenders, the People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) Atiku, who polled 6,984,520 votes, and the Labour Party’s Peter Obi, who had 6,101,533 votes.
