APC and PDP Confident Ahead of 2027 Plateau Governorship Election

The All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) expressed confidence in their chances for victory in the upcoming 2027 governorship election in Plateau State. This statement followed the release of the final list of candidates by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which included 17 candidates, among them the incumbent governor and APC candidate, Caleb Mutfwang.

Other candidates include Ropshik Wungak of the PDP, Umaru Yakubu of the Accord Party, and Bingel Philomina of the Zenith Labour Party, the only female candidate. PDP State Publicity Secretary Dr Choji Dalyop emphasized the party's strength despite the omission of aspirant Sunday Biggs from the INEC list, asserting that the PDP remains the dominant party in Plateau State.

APC State Chairman Rufus Bature expressed confidence in Mutfwang's leadership and achievements over the past three years, predicting a solid win for the APC in the upcoming election.
