adsThe crisis trailing the All Progressives Congress National Assembly primaries in Plateau State worsened on Thursday after 17 aggrieved aspirants formally rejected the results of the exercise and demanded fresh elections.
The aspirants, led by Senator Diket Plang, submitted separate petitions to the APC National Assembly Primaries Appeal Committee at the party secretariat in Jos, alleging widespread irregularities and insisting that no credible primaries were conducted in several parts of the state.
The petitions, received by Muhammad Zubairu, the committee secretary, came amid growing tension within the party over the outcome of the Senate and House of Representatives primaries held ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Among the petitioners were Beatrice Dakas, Napoleon Bali (Rtd), Victor Lar, ID Gyang, Alphonsus Komsol Logap, Chris Giwa, Ephraim Usman, Gyang Zi SAN and John Tongshinen.
Speaking with journalists after submitting the petitions, Senator Plang alleged that the primaries violated both the Electoral Act and APC guidelines, claiming that no transparent voting process was conducted in most areas.adsads
