The candidates of the Labour Party in both the National and State Assembly election have upped the political ante and kick-started their ward-to-ward campaign to get a first-hand feel of the pulse of the people as well as woo potential voters.
The duo of Engr. Esosa Iyawe and Dr. Edosa Richard Osaro are leading the onslaught on behalf of the Labour Party which is fast making in-road and gaining momentum, whilst trying to dislodge the two dominant parties in the state, the PDP and the APC respectively.
Engr Iyawe is the Labour Party candidate for the Oredo federal constituency seat in the National Assembly , Dr. Edosa on the other hand is the party’s candidate for the Oredo West constituency in the State assembly election.
political pundits have predicted a tough battle, possibly a three-horse race in the forthcoming election in the Oredo.
