Barnabas Gemade
The current governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has been humiliated by his political rival, Barnabas Gemade of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the Benue Zone A Senatorial race.
Gemade, who defected from the PDP prior to the party’s primaries towards the end of 2014, humbled the highly-criticised governor with a total of 26432 votes margin to win the keenly contested election.
With this, Suswam has completely fizzled out of Benue political terrain.
The result are as follow:
Katsina-Ala APC 13, 152, PDP 30, 124.
Vandeikya APC 25,789, PDP 15,593.
Konshisha APC 34, 376, PDP 7,171.
Kwande APC 29001, PDP 16, 379.
Ushongo APC 18, 956, PDP 13, 414.
Ukum APC 13, 445, PDP 19, 505.
Logo APC 6, 016, PDP 16, 687.
Total: APC 140, 735
PDP 118, 793.
