Gawuna seeks ADC gov ticket as defection talks advance

Dr. Nasiru Gawuna, who previously ran as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, is engaged in substantive negotiations to switch his political affiliation to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The former candidate is reportedly pursuing the ADC's gubernatorial nomination for the 2027 election cycle. These discussions between Gawuna and ADC leadership appear to be progressing toward a formal agreement, signaling a potential realignment in the political landscape ahead of the next election.

Political party defections can reshape electoral dynamics and influence the competitive balance in upcoming elections, particularly in gubernatorial races.
