Sani Aliyu Danlami Loses APC Ticket to Abba Mangal

Sani Aliyu Danlami, the current representative serving his second term, lost the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the 2027 elections in the Katsina Central Federal Constituency. This decision followed a consensus arrangement among party stakeholders, leading to the selection of Abba Mangal, a legal practitioner and son of businessman Dahiru Mangal, as the consensus candidate.

Danlami acknowledged the outcome of the process and called on party members to remain calm and support the chosen candidate, emphasizing the importance of peace and unity within the party. This development marks a significant shift in the political landscape of the constituency, as it is the first time a member of Dahiru Mangal's immediate family has emerged as a candidate for elected office in the state.

The consensus process involved extensive consultations among various aspirants and party stakeholders over several days.
