Gwamna was earlier picked as the consensus candidate of the APC but there was resistance.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared Dr Jamilu Ishiaku Gwamna as its governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections in Gombe State, defeating Prof Isa Pantami, a former minister under late former president, Muhammadu Buhari.
The declaration was made after the primary election held across the state.
Gwamna was earlier picked as the consensus candidate of the APC but there was resistance.
Announcing the result, the Chairman of the APC Governorship Primary Election Committee, Senator Sani Abubakar Danladi, said the exercise was conducted in line with the Electoral Act 2022, as well as the guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the APC.
