Hon. Barry Ndubaden Amaoru has obtained the All Progressives Congress (APC) interest and nomination forms to contest the Yenagoa Constituency 3 seat in the upcoming Bayelsa State House of Assembly elections.
His action marks his formal entry into the race, as political activities begin to intensify across the state ahead of the polls. By purchasing the form, Amaoru signals his intention to participate in the party’s primary election.
Amaoru is among the early aspirants seeking the APC ticket for the constituency, a move that could influence the party’s internal dynamics if more contenders emerge. Yenagoa Constituency 3 is regarded as a key area in the state’s political landscape, often witnessing competitive contests.
Political stakeholders in Bayelsa have begun mobilizing support as parties prepare for their primaries. The APC, in particular, is expected to focus on strengthening its presence in the state assembly.
Amaoru is anticipated to rely on his experience and grassroots connections as he seeks support from party members and constituents. Key issues likely to shape the campaign include infrastructure, youth empowerment, and economic development.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is expected to announce timelines for the primaries and general election, as aspirants continue consultations and build momentum ahead of the contest.
