APC Dominates FCT Area Council Polls, Secures Five Chairmanship Seats
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has emerged as the clear winner in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council elections, clinching five of the six chairmanship positions contested. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secured one seat, according to the officially declared results.
The outcome reinforces the APC’s foothold in the nation’s capital, with the party posting victories across the majority of the councils. Electoral officials confirmed that the results followed the conclusion of voting and collation processes conducted across the FCT.
Political observers note that the elections were closely watched, given the strategic importance of the FCT in Nigeria’s political landscape. The results are expected to influence governance dynamics at the grassroots level, where Area Council chairpersons play key administrative roles.
While APC supporters have welcomed the strong showing, PDP stakeholders highlighted their win as a sign of continued relevance and competition within the territory. Reactions from party representatives and voters have continued to trail the announcement.
Attention now shifts to the transition process and policy priorities of the newly elected council leaders, as residents anticipate developments in local administration and service delivery.
