Former House of Representatives member Herman Hembe emerges as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate for Benue State ahead of the 2027 governorship election. Both outlets report that Hembe wins the party’s primary after defeating two other aspirants vying for the ticket. The reports state that the primary election is held within the ADC and that Hembe’s victory follows the conclusion of the contest among the three candidates. The outlets do not provide additional details on the vote count, delegates, or the identities of the other aspirants. They also do not describe any legal or procedural challenges to the outcome. With the primary result, Hembe is positioned to represent the ADC in the general election for Benue State’s governorship in 2027, unless there are subsequent party processes or court decisions that alter the candidacy.
