The current Nigerian National Assembly delegation from Plateau consists of three Senators representing Plateau North, Plateau Central and Plateau South Senatorial Districts and eight Representatives representing Barkin Ladi/Riyom, Jos North/Bassa, Jos South/Jos East, Langtang North/Langtang South, Mangu/Bokkos, Mikang/Shendam/Qua'an-Pan, Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam and Wase constituencies. Prior to the evolution of the Fourth Nigerian Republic, (based on the 4th republican constitution as amended) there existed the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Republics.

First Republic

The present-day Plateau State was in the First Nigerian Republic part of a much larger political entity that was an agglomeration of the present-day northern states as part of the entirety of the Northern Region of Nigeria. The Republic was a Federal Parliamentary Republic based on the Westminster system bequeathed Nigeria by Great Britain. Thus including it in this article will make it cumbersome and confusing for the reader. Successive dispensations however adopted a replica of the American federal presidential system where parliament was replaced by a National Assembly starting on 1 October 1963.

Second Republic

2nd Assembly (1979–1983) Unsurprisingly, the Nigerian legislature was still coined parliament in the Second Nigerian Republic despite already being a presidential republic largely due to the then transitional nature of Nigerian democracy. There were 19 states at the time represented by 5 senators each and 449 representatives not evenly distributed amongst the states i.e a minimum of 10 and maximum of 46 represented a state at the time depending on their populations. Plateau had a total of 16 representatives spread across the state with a whopping 13 bearing the flag of the NPP. +Senators during the Second Nigerian Republic from Plateau State Senator Elected Party ConstituencyTerm John Wash Pam (Deputy Senate President) 7 July 1979 NPP Jos 1 October 1979 – 1 October 1983 Garba Matta 7 July 1979 NPP Pankshin/Mangu/Kanam 1 October 1979 – 1 October 1983 Thomas Yepwi 7 July 1979 NPP Keffi/Nassarawa 1 October 1979 – 1 October 1983 George Baba Hoomkwap 7 July 1979 NPN Shendam 1 October 1979 – 1 October 1983 Muhammadu Musa Agwai 7 July 1979 NPN Lafia/Akwanga/Awe 1 October 1979 – 1 October 1983+Members of the House of Representatives during the Second Nigerian Republic from Plateau State Member Elected Party Constituency Term Inuwa Ali 7 July 1979 NPP Jos North 1 October 1979 – 1 October 1983 M.
