Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso failed to hold his local council of Madobi in Kano for Atiku Abubakar, candidate of his Peoples Democratic Party as it fell to the All Progressives Congress (APC) of Muhammadu Buhari.

Kwankwaso, who was also a former governor only succeeded in winning his polling unit, where Atiku scored 278 votes and Buhari 215.
