The lawmaker representing Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Yusuf Gagdi, has failed to secure the All Progressives Congress ticket to return to the National Assembly for a third term.

Gagdi lost to John Tongshinen, who polled a total of 29,968 votes in the direct primary election to defeat Gagdi, who scored 5,849 votes.

Declaring the result at the constituency headquarters in Pankshin on Sunday, the party returning officer, Monday Daspan, said Dr John Tongshinen scored 29,968 votes, while polled 5,849 votes.

“By the powers conferred on me as the chairman of this committee, I hereby declare Dr John Tongshinen as the winner of the primaries for Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency based on the records available to me,” he said.

Daspan explained that the primaries were observed by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), alongside security personnel.

Gagdi is currently the Chairman of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Navy.

The lawmaker lost the primary election of his party conducted across the three local government areas (LGAs) that make up his constituency.

It will be recalled that the APC lawmaker was at loggerheads with various groups and political stakeholders who claim he has breached a previous commitment.

Opponents allege that Gagdi had initially agreed to serve only two terms to allow for a power-shift rotation within the constituency. Having already completed his second term, his decision to seek re-election for a third has triggered significant backlash.

Let him go and rest. It’s time for a fresh idea.

That's the power of PKK. He may have had his way if it was indirect primary.

Off topic

The fact is, most Nigerians want to be fed and washed and dressed by a nanny, even if it means taking a loan to pay the nanny.

That's why we have never developed.

Same.issue with most African and Arab countries

Someone here was admiring.saudi.arabia which has not produced any electronics, cars ,.inventon, etc.

Yet most Nigerians want to be like Saudi and not like Germany

.FEDERAL MONEY sweet him BODY.Just sitting down dey press phone,.Make another enter go chop too

Even in APC there's power tussle. Power pass power

People are starting to see through their APC shenanigans now.

All those eye service won’t work anymore.

Next election will show a lot of people real shege.

I can bet that the total registered voters in those 3 local governments noor go reach 100k and APC candidate alone dey win primary election with over 29k votes.
All is well

1 2,3,4,4,6,7,8,9 10... 29,000................


Lmao APC be mathing.

He agreed to serve only two terms to allow for a power-shift rotation within the constituency. After completing his second term, he renegade on his promise by seeking re-election for a third and he lost in the primaries.

He shouldn't give up riding commercial motorcycles to prove that he is a man of integrity if he wants to continue pursuing re-election

Riding bike, frying puff puff, carrying 2face luggage, serving food at party no longer political selling tactic its A1 generstion no room for political fantasy.

Unknown to him, he was riding towards the route of no return

Apc and rigging. Make i go check his 2023 election numbers
