On May 20, 2017, Alhaji Mansir Ali-Mashi of the APC won the bye-election in the constituency, following the death of Sani Bello, the member representing the area.
However, the PDP candidate, Nazifi Yusuf challenged the victory of Ali-Mashi at the tribunal over irregularities in the exercise.
The tribunal consequently cancelled the results of the 15 poling units, and its decision was upheld by the Court of Appeal.
