THE NEWS DIGEST reports that Yahaya-Kwande contested the House of Reps party primaries under APC and lost narrowly to Alh. Haruna Maitala in the 2019 elections.
It was believed that Kwande lost the party primaries due to political narrative that his father, who was former Ambassador of Nigeria to Switzerland and member of APC Board of Trustees was working for Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of PDP.
But the lawmaker refused to align with his father in the PDP, instead remained focus in pursuing victory for President Buhari, Governor Lalong and other APC candidates during the polls.
In his Jos North constituency, Buhari polled 93, 800 votes to beat Atiku and PDP who scored 53,277 votes.
