The 2023 Nigerian Senate elections in Zamfara State will be held on 25 February 2023, to elect the 3 federal Senators from Zamfara State , one from each of the state's three senatorial districts. The elections will coincide with the 2023 presidential election , as well as other elections to the Senate and elections to the House of Representatives ; with state elections being held two weeks later. Primaries were held between 4 April and 9 June 2022.
Background
In the previous Senate elections, none of the three incumbent senators were returned as Kabir Garba Marafa (APC-Central) and Ahmad Sani Yerima (APC-North) retired while Tijjani Yahaya Kaura (APC-West) was disqualified alongside all other Zamfara APC nominees. With the disqualification, PDP runners-up—Hassan Muhammed Gusau (Central), Sahabi Alhaji Yaú (North), and Lawali Hassan Anka (West)—were declared victors by court ruling. The ruling also overturned APC victories in the gubernatorial , House of Representatives , and House of Assembly elections before awarding those offices to the PDP runners-up.
