Team Yuo Holds first political gathering
Paynesville, May 22, 2025: As people of Nimba County Electoral District 5 prepare for a 'political brouhaha', to fill the gap created by the election of Senator Samuel G. Kogar, Hon. Jackson S. Yuo has begun political engagements with citizens of his district to 'seal the deal' ahead of the impending by-election.
The executive members transitioned their institution from the Yuo Foundation to the Team Yuo or the Yuo Movement.
Speaking in a special remark Thursday, the political leader of the movement, Hon. Jackson S. Yuo, said it was an honor serving his people as the CEO of the foundation, but noted that the time is coming when he will anticipate the involvement of his people in a bid to enhance representation, oversight and lawmaking on behalf of people of district 5 in Nimba County.
Hon. Jackson S. Yuo meanwhile acknowledged that he is willing to listen to the calls of his people and that he is throwing his hat in the impending race as soon as he is called upon.
"We will continue from where Hon. Kogar stopped and we intend to go beyond in effecting quality leadership for our people. As we await the petition from our people back home-people who are witnesses to our leadership pedigree, I am calling on all of you to keep your eyes on targets and our automate goal. Our targets are the legible voters of district 5 and our goal is to get them on our side to secure a win for our district", Hon. Yuo announced.
The political leader meanwhile intimated that several appointments have been made on his team to represent the various chiefdoms of Buu Yao.
"...I want the involvement of all of our people in this political maneuvering. I call it maneuvering because we are going to lobby with the remaining population of our people to support the aspirations of the majority who are entreating us to engage this process. My team will not make a mark if we don't come together as a people", Hon. Admitted.
The political leader then set up various committees, comprising the media and communications, Planning and Strategy, Security, Incident, Response and Battle-Cry, Community Engagement, Transportation and Logistics, and the Mobilization and Recruitment, Legal, Traditional and Religious committees.
The political movement also has a Youth wing, and a women wing that will ensure the involvement of crosscutting members of the district.
The committees were then tasked with the responsibility to kickoff activities intended to fast track massive engagements ahead of the impending by-election in Nimba County Electoral District 5.
"Inasmuch as we now have our various leaderships, we look forward to receiving your workplans so as to make sure that our structure in the district is involved with our plans for victory in the coming days, weeks, months and years", Hon. Yuo concluded.
As it stands, several former candidates of the district are beginning to tighten their belts for the political showdown.
According to the new elections law, the Legislature is required, within 90 days, to inform The National Elections Commission about the existence of a vacancy within the Legislature.
Following the issuance of the "Writ of Election" by the NEC, activities for the electoral process will get underway.
