Background

edit

Plateau State is a diverse, agriculture-based state in the North Central; although it has vast natural resources, Plateau has faced issues in security as inter-ethnic violence and conflict between herders and farmers heavily affect the state. The overproliferation of weaponry and increased pressure for land along with failures in governance led to the worsening of these clashes in the years ahead of the election.[2]

The 2019 Plateau elections were mixed for both major parties. On the federal level, PDP nominee Atiku Abubakar won the state by 8% but it swung slightly towards Buhari; legislatively, the parties fairly evenly split the Senate seats and House of Representatives seats. Statewise, incumbent APC Governor Simon Lalong won re-election by about 4% of the vote and the APC won a majority in the House of Assembly.
