The Plateau chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), at the weekend, elected Raymond Dabo as its new State Chairman, alongside 38 other members of the State Executive Committee (SEC) to steer the party’s affairs towards victory in the 2027 general elections.

The State Congress was conducted under a peaceful and transparent atmosphere in line with the party’s constitution and produced new officers, who immediately took their oath of office.

Announcing the results, Chairman of the Electoral Committee, David Embughadu, declared that Dabo emerged as the new State Chairman with 2,162 votes, while Gyang Tanko polled 2,102 votes as Deputy Chairman. Michael Dachom was elected State Secretary, and Dr Felix Choji clinched the position of Publicity Secretary, among others.

In his address to the delegates, Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang described the congress as a milestone in the party’s history, noting that it reflected unity, maturity, and loyalty among members.

He acknowledged that although the zoning process initially generated some disagreements, the peaceful resolution underscored the maturity and cohesion within the party.

On alleged defections, Governor Mutfwang expressed optimism and confidence in the resilience of the PDP in Plateau State.
