APC Screens Delta Councillor to Contest Ndokwa/Ukwuani House of Reps Seat

Hon. Victor Chukwuemeke ambition of becoming a federal lawmaker has begun earnestly as he has been successfully screened by the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Chukwuemekea who is a serving Councillor representing Ward 7 in Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State, is gearing up to be a federal lawmaker as his candidacy is gaining momentum by the day.

He was screened on Monday to contest the Ndokwa/Ukwuani Federal Constituency seat alongside other aspirants of the party seeking various elective positions under the APC platform.

The successful screening has further heightened political interest within his Constituency, especially as Chukwuemeke is widely regarded by supporters as one of the few grassroots politicians seeking to rise from local government legislative service to the National Assembly.

Political observers say his aspiration has continued to attract attention within Delta North political circles because of his background as a serving councillor and his reputation for due process, accountability and grassroots engagement, qualities that earned him the nickname, “Mr. Due Process.”

Speaking shortly after the screening exercise, Chukwuemeke expressed confidence and optimism about the political process, stating that he remains committed to offering purposeful representation and quality leadership to the people of Ndokwa/Ukwuani Federal Constituency if given the opportunity.

He noted that the successful screening marks another important step in his political journey toward the 2027 elections, while assuring supporters and party faithful of his determination to continue engaging stakeholders across the constituency.

Supporters of the aspirant described the development as a positive signal for grassroots democracy within the APC, expressing hope that his emergence would provide a stronger voice for youths, local communities and underserved areas within the federal constituency.
