El rufai new running mate

You're referring to the recent development in Nigerian politics!

As of my knowledge cutoff, the new running mate of Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State is Dr. Hadiza Balarabe. She was announced as the running mate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, El-Rufai, for the 2023 gubernatorial election in Kaduna State.

Dr. Hadiza Balarabe is a medical doctor and a former Accountant-General of Kaduna State. She was born in 1968 and hails from Kaduna State. She has a strong background in public service, having served in various capacities, including as the Head of Service of Kaduna State and as a member of the Kaduna State Independent Electoral Commission (KADSIEC).

The choice of Dr. Balarabe as El-Rufai's running mate was seen as a strategic move to appeal to women voters and to bring in fresh perspectives to the APC ticket.
