The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has declared Diket Plang of the All Progressives Congress, APC as the winner of the Plateau Central Senatorial election.
It would be recalled that the electoral umpire, INEC suspended the results of the district due to some unresolved issues.
But in the supplementary elections held on Saturday, the APC candidate was announced as the winner.
Announcing the winner, the INEC’s Returning Officer, Dr. Jimam Lar, said Plang scored 131,129 to defeat Mr Yohanna Gotom of the PDP who scored 127,022 and Garba Pwul, SAN of the Labour Party who scored 36,510.
Diket, a former Member of the State House of Assembly who represented Pankshin North, would now join Simon Mwadkwon and Napoleon Bali both of the PDP who was earlier announced as Senators-elect for Plateau North and Plateau South respectively.
