Dr. Gozhak Defeats Incumbent Gagdi in APC PKK Reps Primaries

A major political upset has emerged in the Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency following the victory of John Tongshinen Gozhak in the All Progressives Congress House of Representatives primary election.

Dr. Gozhak defeated the incumbent lawmaker, Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, in a landslide victory that has sparked fresh political conversations across Plateau State.

According to the results announced by the returning officer, Gozhak secured 29,968 votes, while Gagdi polled 5,849 votes.

The outcome means Gozhak defeated the sitting representative by a margin of 24,119 votes, reflecting what political observers described as overwhelming support from party delegates and stakeholders across the constituency.

The primary election attracted significant attention within Plateau State political circles due to Gagdi’s status as the current representative of the constituency and his influence in the region.

However, the result appears to signal a shift in the political dynamics of the constituency as APC members opted for new leadership ahead of the next general elections.

Analysts believe the emergence of Dr. Gozhak as the party’s candidate positions him as a major political figure in the constituency moving forward, while the outcome is expected to influence political alignments and campaign strategies across Pankshin, Kanke, and Kanam local government areas in the months ahead.
