Court Rules Mandung Wins APC Primary for Jos South Constituency
On October 12, 2026, a Federal High Court in Jos, Plateau State, ruled in favor of Hon. Ayuba Dalyop Mandung, declaring him the winner of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary for the Jos South State Constituency in the 2027 general election. The court ordered the APC to submit Mandung's name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as its candidate.
The judgment, delivered by Justice Dorcas Agishi, also restrained Mancha John Vincent from being presented as the party's candidate. Mandung had challenged the results of the primary election conducted on May 20, 2026, alleging that the results announced at Giring Ward were altered in favor of Vincent.
The court found that Mandung had not received a fair hearing and issued a perpetual injunction against the defendants. Additionally, the court awarded ₦500,000 each against Vincent, the APC, and INEC, totaling ₦1.5 million in costs.
