Governor Matawalle contested and won the Governorship election in 2019 on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Apart from the second term calculations, Alhaji Ahmed Rufai Sani Yerima, two term Governor of Zamfara State (May 1999 to May 2007) and Senator for Zamfara West and Deputy Minority Leader in the Senate wants to use Matawalle to bury the political ambition of the former Governor, Alhaji Abdul’aziz Abubakar Yari (2011-2019).
