Adamawa: APC wins Ganye constituency seat by 129 votes

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has won the Ganye Constituency by-election for the Adamawa State House of Assembly.

Announcing the result on Sunday in Ganye, the Returning Officer, Prof. Tukur Ahmed, declared Musa Misi of the APC winner with 15,923 votes, narrowly defeating Buba Joda of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who polled 15,794 votes.

“Having satisfied the requirements of the law, Musa Misi of the APC is hereby declared winner and returned elected,” Ahmed said.

The by-election followed the death of Abdulmalik Musa of the APC in May 2024.

In his remarks, Misi thanked the electorate for their support and promised to deliver effective representation by facilitating projects beneficial to the constituency.

Former Deputy Governor of Adamawa State and APC stalwart, Martins Babale, hailed the poll as credible and peaceful, while commending the Federal Government for commencing rehabilitation of the long-abandoned Ganye–Bulo–Jada road.
