Party confirms incumbent lawmaker as candidate after disowning initial primary election result in Plateau State.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially reversed the outcome of its earlier primary election result for the Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency in Plateau State, declaring incumbent lawmaker Yusuf Gagdi as the party’s candidate for the 2027 House of Representatives election.
The development came after the party reportedly distanced itself from an earlier announced result, leading to renewed consultations and internal reviews within the APC leadership.
Yusuf Gagdi, who currently represents the constituency at the National Assembly, was subsequently confirmed as the authentic winner of the party’s primary election.
The latest decision has generated reactions among party supporters and political observers across Plateau State, with many describing the move as a significant political turnaround ahead of the general elections.
The APC leadership is yet to release a detailed statement explaining the circumstances surrounding the reversal, but party stakeholders insist the final declaration reflects the authentic outcome of the primary process.
