All 17 chairmanship seats in Yobe State’s local government elections are won by candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), according to results announced by the Yobe State Independent Electoral Commission (YOSIEC). The commission declares the APC winners after the elections are held on Saturday, 26 September 2026.
YOSIEC officials announce the outcome at the commission’s headquarters in Damaturu, with the election described as orderly. One report quotes the YOSIEC chairman, Dr Ibrahim Mohammad Yabani, saying the election is “hitch-free.” Another source focuses on the overall sweep, stating that APC candidates take every chairmanship seat available in the contest.
Across the reports, the main shared details are the number of seats—17—YOSIEC as the body announcing results, the winning party—APC—and the location and timing of the announcement. Differences are limited to emphasis: one outlet foregrounds the “sweep” framing, while another adds wording about the elections proceeding without disruption.
