Meanwhile, Mr. Jerry Joseph Damara emerged victorious in the Gombe South Senatorial District with 56,687 valid votes.


The committee chairman affirmed that all winners met the necessary requirements and were duly returned as the official APC flag bearers for the forthcoming elections.


Kafur also commended Governor Inuwa Yahaya, the state party leadership, security agencies, and members of the media for their contributions toward what he described as a “transparent, credible, and world-class democratic exercise.”


The APC is expected to submit the names of the candidates-elect to the appropriate electoral authorities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
