Senator Saliu Mustapha's defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has intensified the political contest for the Kwara Central Senatorial District. Mustapha, the incumbent senator, secured the PDP ticket through a substitution arrangement shortly after his resignation from the APC. This move pits him against Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who had emerged as the APC candidate for the Senate seat in the 2027 election. The development sets up a fierce battle between two political heavyweights who were formerly in the same party.
