The exercise eventually commenced after due consultations among the aspirants and the electoral officers under the supervision of  Abdullahi Ohioma, who served as the Chairman of the Electoral Panel.

Winner of the primaries dedicated his victory to God with an assurance that the vision to move Plateau forward remains on track.

The Plateau State Governor, Jonah Jang and his predecessor, Senator Joshua Dariye have both expressed satisfaction with the exercise.
