In a powerful show of unity, stakeholders from the Old Bende region have officially endorsed Governor Alex Otti as their sole candidate for the 2027 governorship election!

The union, comprising traditional rulers, community leaders, and political stakeholders, passed a vote of confidence in Governor Otti, citing his transformational projects and impactful governance.
Hon. Ikwechegh had earlier stated that no son or daughter of Old Bende would be allowed to run against the Governor in 2027, a position that has now been firmly backed by the union.
