**Abuja Municipal Area Council Election: APC's Maikalangu Emerges Winner** In a closely contested election, Christopher Maikalangu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been declared the winner of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) chairmanship election. Maikalangu, who is the incumbent chairman, secured 40,295 votes out of the total number of valid votes cast, which stood at 62,861. The election, which was closely monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), saw 12 political parties and their candidates vying for the top seat. While the African Democratic Congress (ADC) came second with 12,109 votes, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) trailed behind with a paltry 3,398 votes. The results of the election, which were announced by the Collation Officer, Prof. Andrew Abue, showed that Maikalangu's victory was not without a challenge. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) gave him a run for his money, but ultimately, the APC candidate emerged victorious. Maikalangu's victory is a testament to the APC's stronghold in the FCT, particularly in the AMAC area. The party's ability to mobilize its supporters and deliver the votes is a significant accomplishment, especially considering the stiff competition from other parties. The APC Collation Agent, Gambo Babale, has described the election process as credible and transparent. He commended INEC for a job well done, saying that the commission had demonstrated a high level of transparency in the collation process. As Maikalangu takes the reins for another term, expectations are high that he will deliver more dividends of democracy to the people of AMAC. With a significant margin of victory, Maikalangu is expected to hit the ground running, addressing the concerns of his constituents and delivering on his campaign promises. The victory of Maikalangu is also a significant boost for the APC in the FCT, which is a crucial swing state in Nigeria's politics. As the party looks to consolidate its gains in the region, Maikalangu's victory is a welcome development. In conclusion, Maikalangu's emergence as the winner of the AMAC chairmanship election is a significant development in the FCT's politics. With a strong mandate from the people, Maikalangu is expected to deliver on his promises and take the AMAC area to the next level.
