The recent defections of Hon. Saleh Yipmong, former Deputy Speaker, and Alh. Dayyabu Garga, former Kanam Local Government Chairman, from the APC to the PDP in Kanam, Plateau State, have sent shockwaves through the political landscape. This development is a significant boost to the PDP, and it's essential to examine the implications of these defections and what they mean for the party's future prospects in Plateau State.

Firstly, the defection of these two prominent politicians is a testament to the growing appeal of the PDP in Plateau State. Their decision to join the PDP demonstrates the party's increasing attractiveness to politicians and voters alike. This trend is likely to continue, as more individuals become disillusioned with the APC's performance and seek a more vibrant and inclusive alternative.

Secondly, the PDP in Plateau State is now emboldened and strengthened by these defections. The addition of Hon. Yipmong and Alh. Garga brings new energy, expertise, and networks to the party, enhancing its capacity to mobilize support and resources. This development positions the PDP to more effectively challenge the APC's dominance and compete vigorously in future elections.

Thirdly, the defections of Hon. Yipmong and Alh. Garga signify a significant shift in the political dynamics of Kanam and Plateau State. Their departure from the APC weakens the party's grip on the area, creating an opportunity for the PDP to make inroads and build a stronger presence.

Lastly, the PDP's renewed strength in Plateau State will enable the party to better articulate and address the concerns of the electorate. With a more diverse and experienced team, the PDP can develop and implement policies that cater to the needs of the people, thereby increasing its chances of electoral success.

 Kanam, previously a stronghold of the APC, has now lost its grip to the PDP. This shift in political dynamics could have far-reaching implications for both parties in the Local Government.The APC has lost its dominance in Kanam, which may impact its ability to influence political decisions and policies in the area. The APC will eventually lose representation in the forthcoming local governments election and State legislative positions thereafter.

In conclusion, the defections of Hon. Saleh Yipmong and Alh. Dayyabu Garga to the PDP in Kanam, Plateau State, mark a significant turning point in the political dynamics of the state. As the PDP becomes emboldened, stronger, and more prepared for future elections, the party is poised to make a meaningful impact on the political landscape of Plateau State.
