Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku, loses senatorial bid to APC's David Jimkuta
Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku, has lost his bid for the Taraba South Senatorial District seat in the just-concluded National Assembly elections. Ishaku contested under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and was defeated by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, David Jimkuta.

Jimkuta won the election with 85,415 votes, while Ishaku came in second with 45,708 votes. The result was announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Returning Officer for the senatorial district, Professor Adeyemi Aderibigbe.

The loss of Governor Ishaku in the senatorial race is a significant setback for the PDP in Taraba State. It also highlights the growing strength of the APC in the state and underscores the need for the PDP to re-strategize ahead of future elections. Governor Ishaku's loss is a reminder that no politician is invincible and that every vote counts.
