INEC announces winner of Adamawa by-election
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday morning announced the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) , Misa Musa Jauro as the winner of the Ganye State Constituency by-election for the Adamawa House of Assembly.
Jauro garnered 16,923 votes, narrowly defeating Buba Muhammad Joda of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who scored 16,794 votes.
The official declaration was made at about 5 a.m. on Sunday by Professor Tukur Ahmed, the Returning Officer for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), after results from all ten wards were collated.
The election was held on Saturday to fill the seat left vacant following the death of Abdulmalik Musa in May 2024. Musa, an APC lawmaker, previously represented the constituency.
The outcome restores the seat to the APC and validates expectations that the race would be closely fought between the two dominant parties in Ganye.
