Three Kaduna lawmakers defect from PDP to APC, reshaping the state’s political landscape ahead of future elections.
In a significant political shake-up, three lawmakers from the Kaduna State House of Assembly have officially left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Minority Leader, Hon. Ali Kalat, representing Jema’a Constituency, led the defection, alongside Hon. Danlami Usman Stingo of Kajuru Constituency and Hon. Shehu Abubakar Nulge from Birnin Gwari Constituency.
Their defection marks a major boost for the APC in Kaduna State, as the ruling party continues to consolidate its influence ahead of future elections. Analysts suggest that the move could reshape the political balance in the state legislature, with the APC strengthening its dominance while the PDP faces setbacks.
Observers note that such defections are often driven by a mix of political interests, alignment with ruling party structures, and strategic positioning for upcoming contests. The development is expected to trigger further reactions within Kaduna’s political landscape.
