Senator Pam Dachungyang, representing Plateau North, has defected from the Action Democratic Party (ADP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The defection was announced by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during plenary on Thursday.
Dachungyang cited internal challenges within the ADP, including irreconcilable differences and persistent internal wrangling, as reasons for his exit.
He stated that joining the APC would allow him to better serve his constituency and the nation, aligning with a platform that reflects his commitment to good governance and inclusive development.
The ADP has notified the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Senate of the vacancy in the Plateau North Senatorial District seat, citing Section 68(1)(g) of the Constitution of Nigeria.
