Gombe PDP Primary Election Controversy

The Gombe PDP suspended two aspirants, Mailantarki and Garry, for gross misconduct following a recent governorship primary. The suspension, lasting one month, was announced after Prof. Isa Ali Pantami was declared the winner of the rerun primary.

Professor Isa Ali Pantami won the PDP governorship primary rerun in Gombe, receiving 2,555 votes. He called for unity among his opponents, Khamisu Ahmed Mailantarki and Usman Aliyu Garry, who rejected the results and claimed he was ineligible to contest.

Khamisu Ahmed Mailantarki declared himself the winner of the Gombe PDP rerun primary, contesting Professor Isa Ali Pantami's eligibility. Mailantarki, who received 389 votes, argued that Pantami's 2,555 votes should be invalidated due to legal concerns regarding his participation
