The New Patriotic Party MP for Walewale in the North East Region, Lariba Zuweira Abudu, has withdrawn from the race to represent her constituency in the 2024 parliamentary election.
Hajia Zuweira Abudu announced her withdrawal from the NPP primary in a letter dated Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
The decision comes after the re-run of the primaries in the Walewale Constituency, which ended inconclusively due to an unfortunate incident that prevented the Electoral Commission from declaring the final results.
“Following the inconclusive rerun of the parliamentary primary in the Walewale constituency yesterday (with the Electoral Commission unable to declare a result as a result of an unfortunate incident), I have decided that in the interest of the greater good of the New Patriotic Party and peace and unity in the Walewale constituency, I will no longer be a candidate for MP in the 2024 elections,” the letter reads.
“I am therefore formally withdrawing from the contest.
“I would like to thank the party for the honour done me in representing my constituency over the last four years and can assure the party of my continued support in the 2024 election campaign,” the letter concluded.
