Mutfwang Secures Plateau APC Governorship Ticket

According to reports, Mutfwang polled 233,335 votes to defeat his challenger, retired Commodore Yilchini Bida, who garnered 3,070 votes in the exercise conducted across the state.

The chairman of the election committee, Fidelis Mnyim, announced the result on Friday in Jos, declaring Mutfwang winner after satisfying the constitutional requirements of the party. He stated that the governor scored the highest number of votes in the primary and was therefore returned as the APC governorship candidate for Plateau State in the 2027 elections.

In a similar development, Peter Mbah emerged as the sole governorship candidate of the APC in Enugu State ahead of the 2027 governorship poll.

The outcome was announced by the Enugu State APC Governorship Primary Election Committee led by Danmalikin Hausa after the conduct of the primary election across the state’s 260 wards.

Reports indicated that 397,370 accredited party members participated in the exercise, which officials described as peaceful, credible and free of disputes.
