Dachung Bagos Wins APC Rerun Primary for Jos Constituency
Dachung Bagos has emerged victorious in the All Progressives Congress rerun primary for the Jos South/Jos East Federal Constituency in Plateau State, positioning him to contest the seat in the 2027 general election. The rerun was necessitated by a High Court ruling in Jos that declared the original primary invalid due to alleged irregularities in 11 specific wards.
The fresh primary was conducted on Wednesday, October 28, across the same wards. Simon Elisha, Chairman of the Rerun Electoral Committee, announced the results on Thursday, October 29, at the state secretariat, Kalwa House, in Jos.
Bagos secured 12,181 votes, significantly ahead of his closest challenger, Esther Simi Dusu, who garnered 2,495 votes. The nearly 10,000 vote margin indicates a decisive outcome in a race that required judicial intervention.
With this victory, Bagos is set to represent the APC in the upcoming 2027 general election, aiming to return to a seat he previously held in the House of Representatives.
