The member representing Bindawa/Mani Federal Constituency of Katsina State in the House of Representatives, Ahmed Yusuf Doro, has defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The defection was formally announced during Thursday’s plenary after Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, read a letter notifying the House of the lawmaker’s decision.
In the letter, dated July 18, 2026, Doro said his decision followed extensive consultations with his constituents and careful consideration of what he described as the best course to strengthen service delivery and effective representation.

Doro expressed appreciation to the leadership and members of the APC for the support he received during his time in the ruling party.
He also reaffirmed his commitment to providing quality representation and pursuing sustainable development initiatives for his constituency under his new political platform.
