As political activity gradually gathers momentum ahead of the 2026 parliamentary elections, Mukum Vicram Ndagha has formally stepped forward as an aspirant for Batibo Subdivision, presenting a manifesto anchored on service, peace, and grassroots development.
Addressing supporters and community stakeholders, Ndagha framed his candidacy as a response to what he described as a long-standing leadership gap in the subdivision. “Batibo deserves leadership that serves and stays,” he said, emphasizing presence, accountability, and empathy as guiding principles of his political ambition.
A Campaign Rooted in Service
Unlike conventional campaigns driven by political patronage, Ndagha portrays his bid as a people-powered movement. With prior experience in both political and community engagement, he says his decision to run is motivated by a desire to restore dignity and opportunity to a population affected by insecurity, economic stagnation, and disruptions to education. “This campaign is not about personal enrichment,” he noted. “It is about justice, development, and restoring hope.”
Education, Economy, and Youth at the Core
Central to Ndagha’s platform is the recovery of the education sector. He is calling for the return of teachers to classrooms, the reopening of schools, and targeted support for children whose education has been interrupted. According to him, no sustainable future can be built if education remains compromised.
Economic revival also features prominently. Ndagha has pledged to work toward the resumption of normal activities in motor parks and marketplaces, viewing transport and trade as lifelines for daily income and local commerce.
Youth empowerment is another major focus. He advocates for expanded access to skills training, employment opportunities, and inclusion of young people in public contracts, arguing that meaningful engagement is key to reducing frustration and instability.
Women and farmers, whom he describes as the backbone of Batibo’s economy, are also highlighted in his agenda. His proposals aim to improve access to economic opportunities and strengthen household resilience through targeted empowerment initiatives.
Practical Plans for Peace and Accountability
Beyond policy priorities, the aspirant has outlined specific initiatives he would push for if elected. These include a community-based security and early warning network involving elders, youths, women, and religious leaders to help prevent violence through dialogue and early intervention.
He also proposes a Batibo Skills and Apprenticeship Program, partnering with local artisans to train young people in trades such as carpentry, tailoring, mechanics, ICT, agriculture, and small-scale entrepreneurship, with starter tools provided after training.
Recognizing the influence of citizens living abroad, Ndagha plans to advocate for a Batibo Diaspora Development Desk to channel diaspora resources into local projects, investments, and scholarships.
To promote transparency, he has committed to a quarterly “report back” system, using town hall meetings, radio programs, and digital platforms to keep constituents informed about progress and challenges.
A Message of Unity
Ndagha’s campaign messaging consistently returns to peace and unity. He argues that dialogue must replace fear and that leadership should be humane, accessible, and accountable. Quoting a local proverb likening unity to a broom that cannot be broken when bound together, he called on residents to see collective action as Batibo’s path forward.
As the race for Batibo’s parliamentary seat takes shape, Mukum Vicram Ndagha is positioning himself as an aspirant seeking to redefine leadership through humility, presence, and service. Whether his people-centred message will translate into electoral success will ultimately be decided by voters, but his entry has added a clear call for ethical and inclusive governance to the political landscape.
