Isaac Kyale Kwallu (born 29 June 1974) is a Nigerian business man and politician. He is a member of the Nigerian Federal House of Representatives representing Mikang/Qua’an-Pan/Shendam federal constituency of Plateau State in the 10th National Assembly.[1]

Political life

Kwallu was chairman of Qua’an-pan Local Government Area of Plateau state under the All Progressive Congress (APC). He was impeached by a 16-man legislative council of Qua'an-Pan Local Government[2] and later suspended by the Plateau state House of Assembly.[3][4] He was reinstated by the Jos High Court.[5][6]

In the 2023 general election, he won election to represent Mikang/Qua’an-Pan/ Shendam federal constituency in the Federal House of Representatives under the People's Democratic Party (PDP).[7] His election is being challenged at the election petition tribunal by his opponent Hon John Dafaan of the All Progressive Congress.[8] but the tribunal affirmed Kwallu as duly elected.[9] The appeal court later in its judgement overturned the election in favor of Hon. John Dafaan[10]
