Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has formally declared his intention to contest for the Imo West Senatorial seat in the 2027 elections. He stated that he accepted the 'call to serve' from the people of the district with humility and commitment to advancing their interests.
Uzodimma made the announcement during a meeting with stakeholders in Owerri, where he also expressed his intention to seek the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the position. He emphasized his dedication to representing the zone effectively in the Senate.
The governor's declaration comes as part of ongoing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections. Uzodimma, who is currently serving his second term as governor, has been a key figure in Imo State politics since his election in 2020.
