A member of the Anambra State House of Assembly representing Awka South constituency 1, Hon Henry Mbachu, has dumped the Labour Party (LP) and joined the Young Progressive Party (YPP).
In a video broadcast announcing his move to the YPP, Mbachu said that his decision to join the YPP was reached after careful consideration arising from his assessment of the YPP candidate, Paul Chukwuma and his manifesto, which he said best expresses his desire for a new Anambra State.
Accordingly, the Anambra lawmaker pledged to work assiduously for the YPP and the candidate of the party, Chukwuma, for the November 8, 2025 governorship election in the state
Speaking on the quality of YPP’s candidate and his confidence in the party and the candidate’s manifesto, Mbachu said that not only does Paul Chukwuma’s manifesto fit into his own set legislative agenda for his constituents, but also that his candidacy appeals to the youths and has a compelling vision and plan for Anambra State which is comparable to none else.
Mbachu also assured his constituents that the YPP is their best option in realising their collective interest. “I am here this day to declare to you my defection from the Labour Party to the YPP. This decision is made on the foundation of a carefully thought-out way for the good people of Awka and Okpuno, with the best interests at heart.
“For the November 8 Anambra State Governorship Election, I am going to work with the candidate who has presented the best manifesto that suits the people of Awka and Okpuno. A candidate who represents the young minds. A candidate who presented an understandable blueprint on how to develop Anambra from consumption to production. A candidate who has shown me that industries can be built across the state, Paul Chukwuma,” he said.
He has also assured me that in every facility built in Awka by the government, Awka and Okpuno people will have the option of first refusal from level 1 to level 7. This decision is in the best interest of Awka South,” Mbachu concluded.
