2023 Gombe State Governorship Election

Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya (APC) was declared winner of the 18 March 2023 Gombe State governorship election with 342,821 votes, ahead of Mohammed Jibrin (PDP, 233,131). The Court of Appeal affirmed Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya's victory on 23 Nov 2023 and the Supreme Court dismissed the ADC's appeal on 18 Jan 2024. The results by state cover the four leading candidates; the other candidates' state-level figures were not available from the sources used, so each state's total here is of those four.

Becoming is not INEC. INEC remains the statutory authority for declaring results; what is marked declared here is what INEC has declared, as sourced. How we keep the two apart.
