Four out of the six candidates seek re-election to their previous positions, except Abubakar Yerima Galadima, who is replacing Abubakar Yunusa Ahmed, the present member in the House of Representatives Yamaltu-Deba Federal Constituency.
Also, Abubakar Yerima is seeking to replace Yaya Bauchi Tongo, who was elected in 2019 to represent the Gombe-Kwami-Funa Kaye Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

He was on Sunday elected by PDP delegates to seek reelection.
