Ethur Community Unites Behind Michael Ayepa, Citing Transparency as Key Requirement for Labwor Leadership
LABWOR COUNTY -November 15, 2025 – The political race for the Labwor County parliamentary seat in Abim district is heating up, following a major announcement confirming the unified backing of the Ethur community for former Member of Parliament, Honorable Michael Ayepa. The community’s endorsement is rooted primarily in Ayepa’s perceived track record of honesty and transparency during his previous tenure.
Community leaders and members of the Ethur political mobilization group have stressed that the decision to rally behind Ayepa is a strategic move aimed at prioritizing accountability and openness in local governance.
Okidi Patrick, a key community mobilizer and advocate for the campaign, released a powerful statement emphasizing the need for ethical leadership. Patrick argued that Ayepa’s re-election is crucial for establishing long-term trust between representatives and constituents.
“If we truly value transparency in leadership, it is time for us to come together and show our support for Honorable Michael Ayepa,” Patrick’s statement read. “As the Ethur community, we must unite and give our full backing to a leader who prioritizes honesty, openness, and accountability.”
Ayepa previously served in the “August House” (the National Parliament), where supporters claim he consistently demonstrated commitment to the ethical standards they now demand.
Advocates believe that Ayepa’s past actions serve as a reliable indicator of his future commitment to clean politics, distinguishing him from other aspirants in the heavily contested Labwor County race.
“Honorable Ayepa has demonstrated his commitment to these values time and time again when he was in the August house, and it is up to us to recognize and reward such leadership,” Patrick added.
The push for Ayepa is being framed not just as a local election campaign, but as a broader message to the entire district that the Ethur people stand firmly for transparent governance.
The community mobilization effort is now focused on ensuring Ayepa receives the necessary support at the ballot box to reclaim the seat.
“Let us join forces and show the districts that we stand for transparency in our leaders by giving Honorable Ayepa the recognition and support he deserves,” concluded the statement from the Ethur political unit.
The endorsement is expected to significantly influence voting dynamics in Labwor County as the election cycle progresses, placing transparency and accountability at the forefront of the political debate.
