Barely a day after unveiling and signing his Bende Prosperity Contract, the Labour Party candidate for Bende Federal Constituency, Dr. Chima Anyaso, has intensified consultations with party leaders and grassroots coordinators as part of efforts to consolidate his political support ahead of the 2027 general election.
The engagement, held on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at the Chima Anyaso Campaign Office in Igbere, brought together ward-level stakeholders to strengthen coordination, exchange ideas and reinforce their participation in the campaign.
Participants included ward chairmen, councillors, women and youth leaders, Abia Arise coordinators, Onu-Ugu women leaders, Chima Anyaso coordinators and other grassroots representatives from different parts of the constituency.
The consultations were organised in separate sessions for representatives from Umuimenyi/Nkpa, Ugwueke/Ezeukwu, Alayi, Item C and Item A, allowing the various groups to engage with Anyaso and the campaign leadership.
