Chief Hon. David Bitrus Barji Kasuwa, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senatorial Candidate for Plateau Central in the 2027 general elections, has met with the Forum of Former Councillors from the five local government areas of the senatorial district as part of ongoing engagements ahead of the elections.
The forum comprises more than 540 former councillors who served in various capacities across Plateau Central from 1999 to date.
The meeting provided an opportunity for discussions on political mobilisation, party solidarity and strategies for galvanising support for the APC and its candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Addressing members of the forum, Chief Barji expressed his readiness for the political responsibility ahead, assuring the former councillors of his commitment to inclusive representation if elected to the Senate.
He emphasised that his proposed representation of Plateau Central would be people-oriented, assuring members that he would carry everyone along, irrespective of their backgrounds or political contributions.
The engagement also underscored the importance of former local government officials in political mobilisation, grassroots participation and community-level engagement, given their experience and connections across the various communities in the senatorial district.
The meeting forms part of Barji’s ongoing consultations with stakeholders and political groups as the APC prepares for the 2027 general elections.
