Gabriel Dawang from Pankshin North has been elected as new speaker of Plateau State House of Assembly Speaker. This change comes after the appeal court decision to remove Governor Caleb Mutfwang.
Taking on the role of Deputy Speaker is Hon. Timothy Dantong, representing Riyom constituency. Notably, Hon. Moses Thomas Sule, the former Speaker, has resigned from his position, leading the way for these changes.
In a surprising turn of events, Deputy Speaker Hon. Gwottaon Fom has also submitted his resignation.
Sources suggest that there is a possible connection between these developments with the dismissal of PDP legislators and Governor Caleb Mutfwang.
