In a significant electoral development, Daniel Asama Ago of the Labour Party (LP) has been officially declared the winner and returned elected for the Jos North Bassa Federal Constituency. The declaration, announced in the early hours of Monday, February 5th, 2023, was made by Prof. Garba John D., the certified returning officer for the Jos North Bassa Federal Constituency election.
Securing a total of 66,422 votes, Daniel Asama emerged as the clear winner, while Adamu Muhammed Alkali of the PRP closely followed with 61,670 votes, securing the second position. The victory holds particular significance in the context of the Jos North Bassa Federal Constituency rerun election, reshaping the political landscape in the region.
The rerun election was triggered by the exclusion of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) following a court of appeal judgment. This legal development also led to the annulment of the election of former Rep Musa Agah of the PDP. Despite these challenges, Daniel Asama’s victory of the LP stands out, especially considering the last-minute support extended to him by the PDP in the state.
The triumph of Daniel Asama Ago of the LP marks a pivotal moment in the political narrative of the Jos North Bassa Federal Constituency, reflecting a new chapter in the region’s political landscape. The party scores for the election are as follows:
