APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu
The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, lost his polling unit to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in yesterday’s governorship and House of Assembly elections in Nasarawa State. In his GRA (A1) Polling Unit 010, located in Keffi—the headquarters of Keffi Local Government Area—the PDP secured 159 votes, while the APC garnered only 129, according to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) presiding officer Okoh Everest. The Social Democratic Party received one vote, and the Labour Party received none.
Two days before the February 18 election, the Labour Party collapsed its structure into the PDP for the governorship and State House of Assembly polls. The INEC results also showed that the APC lost the House of Assembly contest in the chairman’s polling unit, with the PDP obtaining 133 votes to the APC’s 108; governor Abdul Sule won his own polling unit by a landslide.
Additionally, Adamu was defeated in his senatorial district by SDP candidate Ahmed Wadada in the National Assembly race. In the presidential election, his polling unit was won by the Labour Party, with Peter Obi ultimately carrying the state.
