FCT Election: APC wins key polling units inside Presidential Villa

The All Progressives Congress (APC) posted impressive results in several polling units located within the Presidential Villa during Saturday’s Federal Capital Territory Area Council chairmanship election.

At Polling Unit 002, situated at No. 4 Kofo Abayomi Street beside the Officers’ Mess inside the Villa, the APC dominated the ballot, securing a comfortable lead over other parties. The outcome reflects strong support for the ruling party in one of the most high-profile voting areas in the nation’s capital.

Official figures from the unit showed that the APC polled 24 votes, while the African Democratic Congress (ADC) trailed behind with 5 votes.

A similar trend was recorded at the Presidential Villa/Police Affairs Commission polling unit. In this location, the APC secured 32 votes, effectively outpacing the ADC, which garnered 11 votes.

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) finished a distant third in this specific unit, managing to pick up only 2 votes.

These early figures from the Villa are seen as a morale booster for the ruling party, especially given the symbolic importance of winning at the President’s official residence.

However, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is expected to continue the collation of results from other parts of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) and the remaining five councils as the exercise progresses.
