INEC final list for the 2019 general elections, SN 8: ANN deputy governorship candidate BALA ABBAS in Jigawa, age 60, male, 'FSLC, SSCE', on the ticket of Abbas S. Mujaddadi (SN 7, ANN, age 47). Muhammad Badaru (APC) was declared winner after the Saturday 9 March 2019 poll; the ANN's score was not found. ANN has no political_parties row, so the party is recorded here only. Identity (medium): same name, state and office level as the 2027 INEC line, same SSCE qualification, and an age (60 in Jan 2019) consistent with 67 in Oct 2026; no press report ties the two lines together and the name is common.
