At least six federal lawmakers lost their re-election bids as the All Progressives Congress (APC) announced the results of its House of Representatives and senatorial primaries in Plateau State on Tuesday night.
The official results were announced by the chairperson of the party’s National Assembly primaries committee in the state, Stella Okotete.
The outcome marked a major internal shake-up within the APC, with four members of the House of Representatives and two senators losing their bids for re-election.
In the House of Representatives contests, Abubakar Shuaibu defeated the incumbent, Daniel Asama, in Jos North/Bassa Federal Constituency. In Langtang North/Langtang South Federal Constituency, Beni Lar unseated Vincent Bulus.
Joe Dashe also defeated the sitting lawmaker, John Dafaan, in the Qua’anpan/Shendam/Mikang Federal Constituency, while Bitrus Bagos edged out Ajang Iliya in Jos South/Jos East Federal Constituency.
