**APC Sweeps Chairmanship Seats in FCT Area Council Elections** In a resounding victory, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has claimed five out of the six chairmanship positions in the recent Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council Elections. The outcome, announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has further solidified APC's grip on the FCT. The Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), long considered a battleground between the two major parties, fell to APC's Chris Garki, who secured a significant victory. In the Bwari Area Council, Joshua Ishaku, APC's candidate, won the chairmanship seat with a whopping 18,466 votes. This victory showcases APC's growing influence in the FCT, which has long been a stronghold of the ruling party. Abdullahi Umar Abubakar, Nuhu Daniel Kwali, and Samuel Danjuma Shekwolo, all APC candidates, emerged victorious in the Abaji, Kwali, and Kuje Area Councils, respectively. Their wins underscore the APC's ability to unite diverse interests and secure key seats in the FCT. Meanwhile, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) managed to snag the Gwagwalada Area Council, demonstrating that the opposition still has a significant presence in the FCT. Kasim Mohammed, the PDP candidate, won the chairmanship position in Gwagwalada, a testament to the party's resilience in the face of APC's dominance. The outcome of these elections will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the FCT's governance and development. The APC's victories will likely reinforce the ruling party's policies and agenda, while the PDP's win in Gwagwalada will provide a counterbalance to APC's dominance. As the FCT continues to grow and evolve, the balance of power in the area councils will be crucial in shaping the territory's future.
