Yesterday, 30th April, 2026, In line with the official and current position of the party on direct primaries, I have taken the significant step of formally picking up my Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for the forthcoming elections.

While I respect the decisions of some of our Elders and party Leaders, endorsing Aspirant of their choice,I am guided by the official position of the party on direct primaries as communicated to all party members and Aspirants alike. Should the party comes up with the second option of Nominating party Candidates as enshrined in the electoral act 2026,I will sure align and respect the supremacy of the party.

I am also not unmindful of the fact that the trust of the people is neither given lightly nor sustained by rhetoric alone. It is earned through consistent engagement and an unshakable dedication to the common good.

My decision to proceed on this path is therefore anchored in a clear understanding of the challenges before us, and an even clearer resolve to contribute meaningfully to deepening our democracy and advance our shared aspirations for a better society.

Now, the moment for symbolism gives way to the imperative of action. It is time to do the work deliberately, diligently, and together to achieve the future we seek.
