APC Wins All 25 LG Chairmanship Seats, 271 Councillors

The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has won all the chairmanship seats in last Saturday’s Local Government Council, LGC, election in Niger State, while opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, clinched 3 out of 274 Councilorship seats.

Niger State Independent Electoral Commission, NSIEC, in a statement signed by the Commissioner 1 in charge of Operations, Barr Mohammed A. Liman, said the election which took place across the 25 LGCs on Saturday, November 1, 2025, was successful.

According to the statement, “Local government election that took place on Saturday November, 2025 was free, fair, and peaceful, with the APC clinching 271 out of 274 Wards, while the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) 3 Councillorship seats-two in Tafa and one in Rafi LGC”.

Also, despite restriction of movements, our correspondent reports that most people went about their businesses on the election day, yet the results from NSIEC still reflect that millions of people voted during the election opposition parties said is characterized by high level of electoral flaws.
