Announcing the election results, the Chairman of the Electoral Committee and Special Adviser to the governor on Women Affairs, Mrs. Sarah Mamam stated that two women contested for the position of president, with Mrs. Ladi Audu emerging as the winner, just as Hajiya Rahman Sulieman Diko from the Federal University of Lafia, who served as an observer, described the election as free, fair, and transparent, urging the new leadership to strive for greater heights.

In her acceptance speech, the newly elected president of the Former Women Councilors Association, Mrs. Ladi Yakubu, Nasarawa State chapter, expressed gratitude to all who supported her victory, and pledged to inclusively lead the association to achieve collective goals.
