List of Winners as APC, PDP Conduct State Congresses across Nigeria

The All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) conducted congresses to elect leaders that will pilot their affairs at the state level on Saturday, October 16.

While the APC elected new executives in most of the states of the federation, the PDP conducted its congresses in only a few states where the tenure of executives had expired.

The congresses were characterised by controversies as many states produced two sets of executives from different factions.

A report by The Cable highlighted the newly elected chairmen in the states.

Though many states produced parallel chairmen, Legit.ng notes that the report only focused on those who emerged winners from the congresses recognised by the national leadership of the parties and monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
