The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has won the chairmanship election in all 21 local government areas of Adamawa State. This announcement was made on Sunday following the council election conducted on Saturday, July 13, by the Adamawa State Independent Electoral Commission (ADSIEC).
The commission declared the results on Sunday afternoon, showing that all PDP candidates secured victories in their respective LGAs. The PDP’s easy win was facilitated by the withdrawal of the main opposition parties, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP), both of which had previously expressed doubts about ADSIEC’s ability to conduct a free and fair election.
ADSIEC dismissed the opposition parties’ criticisms as unfounded, asserting that the election would be credible, and proceeded to conduct it.
