The election follows the party’s earlier decision to zone the chairmanship to Kogi East, ensuring fair regional representation and promoting inclusive leadership.
The zoning decision has been widely praised by party members and political observers as a step toward equitable political participation and the strengthening of internal party democracy.
The meeting, held today in Idah, brought together all stakeholders of the Kogi East ADC chapter. Delegates expressed full confidence in Tom Zekeri’s leadership abilities and unanimously endorsed him to lead the chapter.
The consensus reflects not only his popularity but also his reputation for integrity, strategic thinking, and commitment to advancing the goals of the ADC in the region.

Political analysts note that such consensus is rare in contemporary politics and indicates a high level of political maturity within the Kogi East ADC chapter. The leaders stressed that working together under Zekeri’s administration will help strengthen party structures and promote development across the region.
Adding a statesmanlike dimension to the outcome, QS Aminu Abubakar Suleiman, a respected technocrat, development strategist, and senatorial aspirant extended his congratulations and pledged full support to Zekeri’s administration.
