The Campaign Council of Senator I. D. Gyang has strongly dismissed reports circulating on social media alleging that the senator has stepped down from the Plateau North Senatorial race, describing the claims as false, misleading, and deliberately fabricated.

In a press statement issued on Monday, May 18, 2026, by the Director General, Sen. I. D. Gyang Campaign Council, Comrade Lot Adas, the campaign said the report was the handiwork of individuals attempting to create confusion within the political space and mislead the public.

The statement categorically affirmed that Senator I. D. Gyang has not withdrawn from the race and remains fully committed to contesting the Plateau North Senatorial seat in the ongoing electoral process.

It urged the public to disregard the publication in its entirety, stressing that it has no basis in fact and did not originate from any official source connected to the campaign.

According to the council, Senator Gyang remains a leading contender in the race, citing his strong grassroots support, track record of service delivery across Plateau North, and his capacity to promote unity within the party.

The campaign described the circulation of the report as a calculated attempt to misinform party members, stakeholders, and supporters ahead of the primaries.

It further advised the media and the public to rely only on verified statements issued through the senator’s official communication channels and accredited campaign representatives.

The statement also called on all registered APC members in Plateau North to come out and participate in the ongoing direct primaries being conducted by accredited party officials across all wards in the senatorial district.

The campaign reaffirmed its commitment to a peaceful, transparent, and credible electoral process as preparations continue toward the general elections.
