He said that, Gummi, having scored the highest number of votes and satisfied the requirements of the law, emerged as the winner of the election.

Recall that,  last election was declared inconclusive between Sulaiman Abubakar Gummi and Ahmed Mohammed due to the cancellation of election results from over voting and violence at some polling units.
