The All Progressives Congress (APC) has cleared the Plateau local government councils poll, winning all the chairmanship and councillorship seats in the 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state.

Mr. Fabian Ntung, Chairman, Plateau Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC) announced the result on Sunday in Jos.
Ntung explained that APC won the entire 325 councillorship seats in the 17 LGAs.
The chairman stated that the commission was satisfied with the manner in which the election was conducted.
