Simon Davou Mwadkwon (born 25 July 1968) is a Nigerian politician and educationist who served as the minority leader of the Nigerian Senate from July to October 2023.[1] He was the senator representing Plateau North senatorial district from June 2023 until he was sacked by an Appeal Court in October 2023.[2][3][4]
On 3 February 2024, some hours before the rerun election ordered by an Appeal Court, Mwadkwon and other top leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau State decided to endorse the Action Democratic Party (ADP) candidate Prince Pam Mwadkon Dachungyang for the Plateau North senatorial district rerun after the exclusion of their party from the ballot became public information.[5]
