The Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalaong, has been declared the winner of the February 25 Parliamentary election for Plateau State.

The former Plateau State Governor, Director-General of the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign, was among the seven governors declared losers of senatorial elections.

TINUBU had subsequently appointed him as Minister of Labour.

But the National and State Petition Election Tribunal sitting in Jos sacked the senator representing Plateau South, Napoleon Bali, and declared Lalong as the winner.

Bali contested the election on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), while Lalong ran under the All-Progressive Congress (APC).

The tribunal also sacked Peter Gyendeng as a member representing Barikin Ladi/ Riyom federal constituency of the House of Representatives. It declared Fom Dalyop of the Labour Party (LP), who became second in the February 25 general elections in the state, as winner.
