The All Progressives Congress (APC) has secured its third chairmanship seat in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) council elections, with Daniel Nuhu emerging winner of the Kwali Area Council poll.

Nuhu polled 17,032 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Haruna Pai of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who garnered 8,575 votes.

The result was announced on Sunday morning by the presiding officer of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the final collation centre in Kwali.

Nuhu’s victory extends the APC’s lead in the FCT council elections. With the Kwali result, the party now controls three of the four area councils declared so far.

INEC had earlier announced APC victories in AMAC and Bwari, while the PDP secured Gwagwalada.
