Ahead of the upcoming electoral cycle, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA) in Anambra State have successfully assembled a formidable network of 143,000 vote canvassers distributed across the 5,720 polling units in the region. This extensive grassroots campaign is specifically structured to secure a strong mandate for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in the scheduled 2027 general elections.
Chief Okey Ezenwa, the state coordinator of the organization, made this announcement during a strategic gathering involving zonal and local government leaders of the group. According to the leadership, an allocation of 25 dedicated canvassers has been assigned to each polling unit to drive community-level engagement and voter outreach.
"The Anambra State chapter of RHA is fully prepared for the 16 January 2027 presidential election. Our coordinators are fully on ground in the 21 Local Government Areas and the 326 wards," Ezenwa stated.
How is the mobilization structure organized?
To ensure rigorous administrative oversight and effective field operations, the movement has instituted robust operational frameworks at the grassroots level. This includes the formation of an 11-member administrative committee for every local government area, complemented by a 10-member steering committee dedicated to each of the 326 electoral wards across the state.
Furthermore, the leadership assembly resolved to initiate direct consultations with all All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates vying for legislative positions at both the National and State Assembly levels. This consultative meeting aims to harmonize campaign strategies and address local party coordination concerns.
What are the next steps for the group?
Ezenwa emphasized that the RHA framework is designed to function as a primary political backbone for all APC flagbearers contesting the presidential, parliamentary, and state legislative seats in the region. Coordinators at all administrative tiers have been instructed to accelerate community outreach ahead of the national campaign rallies.
In his closing remarks, the state coordinator lauded the Director-General of the RHA and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, for his sustained commitment to building nationwide political support structures for the current administration.
