The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the Isuikwuato State Constituency seat in the Abia State House of Assembly, Kingsley Okoronkwo, has urged eligible voters in Isuikwuato Local Government Area to take advantage of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise and obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) before the July 10, 2026 deadline.

Speaking during a voter sensitisation campaign in Isuikwuato on Thursday, Okoronkwo appealed to religious leaders, traditional rulers, youth and women groups, as well as other stakeholders, to mobilise eligible residents to register, transfer their voting units where necessary, and collect unclaimed PVCs before the exercise ends.

He emphasised that the PVC remains the only legal instrument that enables citizens to participate in the 2027 general elections and influence the future of their communities through the ballot.

According to him, many eligible voters are yet to register or complete the process of transferring their voting locations, warning that delaying until the closing days of the exercise could lead to unnecessary challenges.

“Without your PVC, your voice will not count in the 2027 general election. The deadline is July 10, 2026. Do not wait until the last day,” he said.

Okoronkwo also commended officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Isuikwuato for their dedication and professionalism in ensuring that residents are attended to promptly throughout the registration exercise.

He noted that the electoral officials have remained available to assist registrants and ensure a seamless registration process.

The PDP candidate further appreciated the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party in Isuikwuato, led by Raph Nwankwo, for supporting initiatives aimed at boosting voter participation ahead of the registration deadline.

He encouraged all eligible residents who have yet to register, transfer their voting units, or collect their PVCs to visit the INEC office in Isuikwuato without further delay.

“Your PVC is your power. Get registered, transfer if needed, and collect your PVC before July 10, 2026,” he urged.

Okoronkwo expressed confidence that with increased voter participation and the support of the people, Isuikwuato would achieve purposeful representation in the Abia State House of Assembly following the 2027 general election.
