Senator Barau Jibrin of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has been declared the winner of the 2023 Kano North Senatorial District general election held in the state.
Barau Jibrin, who is going to the red chamber for the third time was declared by the returning officer of the Senatorial district, Professor Tijjani Magaji Bamanga.

Before the declaration, a delegate of the NNPP urged the Returning Officer to declare the election inconclusive because of what he alleged to be over-voting from some polling units.
However, the Returning Officer replied that there is not enough evidence, adding they should report any complaints to INEC and Tribunal.
