Tribunal declares Lalong winner of Plateau South senatorial poll

Simon Lalong of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been recognised as the lawfully elected senator to represent the Plateau South senatorial district of the State in the elections held on February 25 by the National/State Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal, which is based in Jos, the capital of Plateau State.

The Tribunal claims that Napoleon Bali’s votes for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were squandered since his political party improperly nominated him for the election on February 25, 2023.
It was stated that the PDP had no legitimate structure in the State at the time of the nomination.

Lalong, the State’s most recent governor, is presently the Minister of Labour and Employment, according to sources.
