JUST IN: PDP disloges APC, wins gubernatorial election in prominent Northern State

The Plateau State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Caleb Mutfwang, is leading the other candidates who contested Saturday’s governorship election.

The result announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission Presiding Officer, Musa Yusuf, after counting the votes scored by parties that participated in the election showed that Mutfwang had the highest votes beating the All Progressives Congress candidate, Nentawe Yilwatda.

Recall that the PDP governorship candidate was reported to be taking an early lead as of 11 am when INEC resumed collations of results from the 17 local government areas of the state.

However, INEC has taken a recess and would resume announcing the winner of the election.
