The Adamawa State Independent Electoral Commission (ADSIEC) declares the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) the winner of council elections across Adamawa State’s local government areas. Initial results reported that the PDP had won in all 20 LGAs where results had been determined, with election proceedings pending in Numan LGA. A later announcement completes the process after the Numan election, which had been postponed from Saturday, June 13 to a later date. ADSIEC announces the outcome of the Numan LGA election, confirming PDP candidate Zidon Nzanyopwa as winner, with Nzanyopwa polling 19,174 votes against 5,676 for the opposing candidate. With the Numan result included, the PDP wins all 21 LGAs in the state and is also reported to have won 226 wards. The reports say the elections are contested by multiple political parties, but the PDP is recorded as prevailing across the council chairmanship polls. One outlet also mentions that the state government at the time is led by the All Progressives Congress (APC), while council chairmen endorsed earlier to seek re-election under PDP are among those who win again. The elections are conducted under ADSIEC supervision.

8 hours agoThe Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has won council election in all the 20 Local Government Areas of Adamawa State, where results have been determined so far. Election now pends in only one LGA of Numan. The last election is holding today following its postponement from Saturday, June 13 when the election was held in the other LGAs. Considering that the government at the state level in Adamawa is currently of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the outcome of the council election would surprise many, except those who could observe that arrangement for the election had already gone far before the political alignment that had Governor Ahmadu Fintiri defecting from the PDP to the APC on February 27 this year. Although, most loyalists of the governor went with him into the APC, the council chairmen who had earlier been endorsed to seek another term under PDP, remained in the party. Recall that other parties competed with the PDP in the Saturday election, but could not make a strong statement during the election. The state PDP governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections, Chief Maurice Vunobolki who was in the vanguard of the pre-council election campaign, has congratulated the newly elected council chairmen, saying the victory of the PDP is a sign that the party remains popular among the people. The election was conducted by the Adamawa State Independent Electoral Commission, ADSIEC, which has now shifted attention to the Numan LGA poll. Among the newly elected chairman is Jibril Ibrahim Jimeta for Yola North LGA.
