The ruling All Progressives Congress has adopted a consensus arrangement to produce candidates for the 30 seats in the Jigawa State House of Assembly ahead of the 2027 general elections, with 18 incumbent lawmakers returning and 11 new candidates emerging.
As part of the exercise, the Speaker of the Jigawa State House of Assembly, Haruna Dangyatim, secured the APC ticket for his constituency through affirmation during the party’s state assembly primaries held on Wednesday across the state’s 30 constituencies.
Speaking with journalists shortly after his affirmation at Dangyatim Ward in Miga Local Government Area, the Speaker said the process demonstrated the unity and strength of the APC in Jigawa State.
“We are grateful that our people and the party officials sent from Abuja have affirmed my candidature for the 2027 election,” Dangyatim said.
