Aisha Alhassan to emerge as Nigerian first female Governor-elect in Taraba

All Progressives Congress gubernatorial candidate in Taraba State and serving senator, Aisha Jummai Alhassan, is reportedly leading in the five most populated local government areas of the state.

According to the unconfirmed report, Senator Alhassan is ahead of her People’s Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart in Jalingo, Wukari, Saduna, Dutse and one other local government area of the state.

Meanwhile, the results made available in the State so far are from four local government areas and it shows that the incumbent governor is leading the polls.

The results are as follows:

Zing local government area, APC 5,224 PDP 28,005.

Lau local government area, APC 13,094 PDP 20,595.

Ardo Kola local government area, APC 13,042 PDP 14,041

Jalingo local government area, APC 37,914 PDP 19,047

Twelve local government areas and Yantu Development area are yet to be released.

However, if the APC polls the highest number of votes in the five most populated local government areas, Aisha Alhassan could win the race and become the first female governor.
