The Federal High Court in Jos, Plateau State, has dismissed a suit filed by Ambassador Chris Giwa challenging Senator Simon Mwadkwon’s emergence as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Plateau North Senatorial District.
The decision is a boost to Mwadkwon’s bid to represent the district in the National Assembly in the January 2027 election.
Mwadkwon, a former Senate Minority Leader, is seeking the APC ticket to return to the Senate.
Giwa had challenged his emergence as the party’s candidate, but the court dismissed the suit.
Reacting to the development, Mwadkwon’s supporters congratulated him on the decision.
They expressed confidence in his candidacy and described him as the incoming senator for Plateau North.
The supporters also wished him victory in the forthcoming election.
Details of the ruling, including the grounds for dismissing the suit, were not provided in the information available.
