Malam Haruna Dangyatin (APC-Miga) has been elected as the Speaker of the 8th Jigawa House of Assembly.

The lawmakers thereafter elected Dangyatin unopposed as the speaker of the House.

Malam Sani Isya (APC-Gumel) was also elected as the deputy speaker, after he was nominated by Mr Aliyu Ahmad (APC-Kirikasamma) and seconded by Mr Lawan Ahmad (APC-Roni)

The new speaker and his deputy were sworn in by the Clerk of the House, Mr Musa Abubakar as provided by the law.
