Ex-rep wins APC rerun primary in Plateau

Former representative Dachung Bagos has emerged victorious in the All Progressives Congress rerun primary for the Jos South/Jos East Federal Constituency in Plateau State. Bagos defeated Esther Simi Dusu in the election, which was conducted across 11 wards following a court order that nullified the previous primary due to alleged irregularities.

The Chairman of the Rerun Electoral Committee, Simon Elisha, announced that Bagos received 12,181 votes, while Dusu garnered 2,495 votes. With his victory, Bagos is set to represent the constituency in the 2027 general election.
