Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has commenced her re-election campaign across Kogi Central ahead of the February 6, 2027 senatorial election, with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidates and supporters joining the exercise.

The campaign, which began on Sunday, featured roadside receptions in communities across Okene and other parts of the district before culminating in a gathering at the senator’s residence in Obeiba, Ihima, Okehi Local Government Area.

Her media aide, Mike Idoko, disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Monday.

Akpoti-Uduaghan, accompanied by her husband, Emmanuel Uduaghan, and other political associates, reaffirmed her commitment to effective representation, constituency development and legislative advocacy.

She said her relationship with the people of Kogi Central extended beyond election periods, describing them as her family and the driving force behind her commitment to public service.

The senator expressed appreciation to supporters for their continued confidence and pledged to intensify efforts to attract infrastructure, economic opportunities and development projects to the district, particularly Ajaokuta.

She also stressed that effective representation required regular engagement with constituents, responsiveness to their needs and purposeful legislative interventions.

The campaign attracted PDP candidates contesting House of Representatives and Kogi State House of Assembly seats across Kogi Central, providing an opportunity to strengthen the party’s cooperation ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to the statement, thousands of supporters gathered at the senator’s residence in Ihima, with many remaining at the venue late into the night.

Kogi Central Senatorial District comprises five local government areas: Adavi, Ajaokuta, Okehi, Okene and Ogori-Magongo.
