The Deputy Speaker of the Niger State House of Assembly and the only female legislator in the House, Mrs Affiniki Dauda, has failed in her bid to return to the Assembly under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Also affected are 15 other lawmakers who lost in the party’s primaries.
However, the Speaker of the House, Alhaji Abdulmalik Sarkindaji, was returned unopposed from his Magama constituency.
