FCT Elections Aftermath: PDP to Challenge APC's Victory

The fallout from the FCT Area Council election is unfolding rapidly. The All Progressives Congress secured five of the six chairmanship seats, with the Peoples Democratic Party holding onto Gwagwalada. However, the PDP has announced plans to challenge aspects of the results, citing alleged irregularities, intimidation, and concerns over the handling of result sheets. INEC has confirmed that over 239,000 voters participated, representing roughly 15 per cent turnout, and has denied claims of voter migration, while security agencies reported arrests linked to vote buying. President Bola Tinubu has commended the peaceful conduct of the polls and urged elected officials to govern with integrity. But deeper questions remain. Does APC’s performance in the FCT, Kano and Rivers signal growing consolidation at the grassroots level? What legal thresholds must be met to overturn results at a tribunal? And does low voter turnout reflect apathy or a broader trust deficit ahead of 2027? Oluwatodimu Ige, Principal Partner at Oluwatodimu Ige & Associates, joins us to analyse the legal implications, political signals and institutional readiness for future elections.
