Former state governor Rabiu Kwankwaso — the nominee of the New Nigeria Peoples Party — obtained 58.4% and won the state by nearly 440,000 votes, a 26.9% margin of victory, over runner-up Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party. The other two major contenders, Bola Tinubu (All Progressives Congress) and Peter Obi (Labour Party), trailed with 7.3% and 1.8%, respectively.
Kano State is a highly populated northwestern state mainly inhabited by ethnic Hausas and Fulanis but with significant non-indigenous populations of Igbo, Yoruba, and other ethnicities. The state has a growing economy but is facing an underdeveloped agricultural sector, overcrowded urban areas, desertification, and relatively low education rates.
Politically, the state's 2019 elections were categorized as a reassertion of the APC's federal dominance after mass 2018 defections away from the party led by outgoing Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and his allies. The APC was mainly successful federally, unseating almost all PDP senators and house members to sweep most House of Representatives and all three senate seats as the state was easily won by APC presidential nominee Muhammadu Buhari with over 75% but still swung towards the PDP and had lower turnout. However, state level elections were much closer as Umar Ganduje needed a disputed supplementary election to barely beat the PDP's Abba Kabir Yusuf; the House of Assembly elections were also closer but the APC won a sizeable majority.
