\n\nIn the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) area council elections held recently, the All Progressives Congress (APC) emerged as the dominant party, winning the majority of chairmanship and councillorship seats across the six area councils. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) managed to secure just one council position, while the African Democratic Congress (ADC)once a contender in the polls ailed to win any seats, according to official results and party sources.
Political analysts say the outcome underscores the continued strength of the APC in the FCT, attributed to strong grassroots mobilisation, campaign strategies and endorsements by key political figures. Speaking after the results, APC leaders described the victory as a reaffirmation of public confidence in their governance agenda, while PDP officials vowed to review their strategies ahead of future polls. Civil society observers noted that the relatively low performance of smaller parties like the ADC highlights challenges smaller platforms face in converting voter support into electoral wins within the FCT’s political landscape.
