Image
Political participation is best strengthened through sound political education, free from bias and emotion. The people of Ona Ara Local Government deserve serious consideration for the House of Representatives seat. This is not merely a political aspiration—it is a matter of fairness, inclusion, and justice. Since the tenure of the late Hon.

This prolonged absence raises genuine concerns about political marginalization. To many of our people, it appears as though the votes and voices of Ona Ara no longer matter.
