The Action Democratic Party, ADP, has expressed excitement over its victory in the Plateau State Senate rerun election, as Prince Pam Nwadkon Dachungyang emerged victorious in the Jos North Senatorial District.
National Chairman of ADP, Yabagi Sani who disclosed this during a press conference in Abuja, said we also congratulate Nigerians who have always stood against all odds, ensuring that our hard earned democracy does not suffer.
He commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for ensuring the success of the elections, acknowledging the firmness of INEC Chairman Professor Mahmood Yakubu and all commission staff.
He said,”I would like to share with you our party’s joy and excitement on the rerun and by-elections conducted by our electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) last Saturday in 26 states of the Federation. The elections which took place in 80 local government areas were largely peaceful and successful.”
“For this reason, we give kudos to INEC for being firm and ensuring that the forces against democrats do not prevail.
ADP is particularly happy with INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu and all permanent and ad-hoc staff of the commission for the successful conduct of the election in Jos North Senatorial District of Plateau State where our party ADP won the senate seat.
“We are indeed pleased to note that the election was free, fair, credible, and peaceful, so we commend INEC for its dedication to upholding the democratic process.”
The National Chairman highlighted the clean sweep of 122,442 votes secured by Prince Pam Nwadkon Dachungyang, defeating nine other candidates in the hotly contested election.
He credited the efforts of the Plateau State ADP Chairman, Mr. Bitrus Boyi, the ADP State Working Committee, and the constituents of Jos North Senatorial District for their instrumental role in the victory.
He said, “It must be noted that most of the reruns were a product of undemocratic and incredibly backstage machinations to subvert the will of our people.
“Let me bring to our notice that our party’s flagbearer, Prince Pam Nwadkon Dachungyang emerged victorious after a clean sweep of 122,442 votes after beating nine other candidates.”
“The efforts by the Plateau State ADP Chairman, Mr Bitrus Boyi, the ADP State Working Committee, the constituents of Jos North Senatorial District were instrumental in all this. We thank our friends, well-wishers and political groups,” he said.
