In Adamawa, PDP Wins All 21 LG Seats

Following the conclusion of Adamawa State’s Local Government (LG) election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) emerged victorious in all 21 council seats.

The ruling PDP won all of the councillorship seats in the 226 wards in the North-East state, according to the results recently released by the State Independent Electoral Commission, with the exception of the Demsa Ward in the Demsa Local Government Area, where one councillorship seat was won by the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).

According to Mohammed Umar, the chairman of the Election Commission, the ruling party won by a wide margin in each of the state’s twenty-one local government councils. At the commission’s office in Yola, the state capital, he declared the results on Sunday night.

Twelve of the state’s 19 officially recognized political parties, according to Umar, took part in the activity.

The Supreme Court gave the third tier of government financial autonomy, and the Federal Government was ordered to pay the 20.60% monthly allocation to each of the 774 LGs in the nation directly to their exclusive accounts rather than accounts under the control of governors. This made the Adamawa local government election the first one following this decision.

In a historic ruling on Thursday, the supreme court forbade governors who lacked integrity from dissolving locally elected local government councils.
