Court Declares Mandung Winner of APC Primary for Jos South
On October 13, 2026, the Federal High Court in Jos, Plateau State, ruled in favor of Honourable Ayuba Dalyop Mandung, declaring him the winner of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election for the Jos South State Constituency. Mandung had filed a lawsuit (suit number FHC/J/CS/43/2026) claiming he secured the highest votes at the ward level.
The court, presided over by Justice Dorcas Agishi, found that the results of the primary election held on May 20, 2026, could not be altered after their announcement at the ward level. The court also determined that Mandung had not received a fair hearing and issued a perpetual injunction against the APC and other defendants from presenting Vincent as the party's candidate.
Additionally, the court mandated the APC to submit Mandung's name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the duly nominated candidate for the upcoming 2027 general elections and awarded ₦500,000 each against Vincent, the APC, and INEC.
