Announcing the result of the primary which was held at the El-Kanemi sports centre in Maiduguri, the chairman of the electoral committee, Uba Ahmadu, said Zulum polled 1,411 votes.
He said 1,560 voters were registered for the primary, while 1,422 voters were accredited, out of which 1,411 votes were recorded with no invalid vote.
