The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has won the council election in all the 20 Local Government Areas of Adamawa State where results have been determined so far.
Election is now pending in only one LGA of Numan.
The last election is being held today following its postponement from Saturday, June 13 when the election was held in the other LGAs.
There are rumours that the winners are expected to defect to the APC, the party to which Governor Ahmadu Fintiri defected months ago. The council chairmen who had earlier been endorsed to seek another term under PDP, remained in the party.
It is understood that the arrangement for the election had already gone far before the political alignment that had the governor defecting from the PDP in February. Most loyalists of the governor went with him into the APC.
Meanwhile, the state PDP governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections, Chief Maurice Vunobolki, has congratulated the newly elected council chairmen, saying the victory of the PDP is a sign that the party remains popular among the people.
The election was conducted by the Adamawa State Independent Electoral Commission, ADSIEC.
