DAKABELA DECIDES: A political storm is intensifying in Dakabela County as support for Hon. Anyimo Harriet, widely known as the Iron Lady, surges to unprecedented levels, while frustration and anger continue to mount against the NRM flag bearer, Edopu Peter Edeku.

Across villages, town centers, and trading hubs, residents are speaking with one voice: they want effective leadership, development they can see, and a representative who stands with them — not one they only hear about during election seasons. For many, Edopu Peter Edeku has become the symbol of political absenteeism, a leader they say “appears only when cameras roll and disappears when accountability is demanded.”

Over the past weeks, thousands have turned up for Hon. Anyimo Harriet’s rallies, events, and community engagements. Her message of practical development, unity, and consistent presence in the lives of her people has ignited a renewed sense of hope across Dakabela. Residents insist they are tired of promises from leaders who cannot point to tangible achievements or meaningful community involvement.

At several gatherings, citizens questioned the relevance of a flag bearer whose footprint in the constituency remains invisible. Farmers lament the absence of agricultural support; youth speak of years of unemployment without any intervention; and parents accuse the current political leadership of abandoning schools, roads, and essential services.
In sharp contrast, Hon. Anyimo Harriet has gained admiration for her hands-on approach, her deep connection with grassroots communities, and her firm stance on accountability. She has championed the needs of the vulnerable, engaged directly with local leaders, and continuously pushed for inclusive development. Her supporters describe her as “the only leader who knows our struggles and walks among us.”

During recent campaigns that drew massive crowds, the Iron Lady reminded residents that progress does not come from titles or political labels but from genuine service. Voters echoed her sentiments, expressing disappointment in leaders who wear the NRM flag but have no record of service to match the privilege.
Community voices have grown louder, demanding a shift from tokenism to real, measurable leadership. Many accuse Edopu Peter Edeku of taking the people’s loyalty for granted, insisting that it is time for Dakabela to reject political complacency and embrace a leader whose work speaks louder than speeches.

The momentum behind Hon. Anyimo Harriet has become impossible to ignore. Her rising popularity and clear vision for Dakabela have set a new political tone — one defined by accountability, integrity, and direct engagement with the electorate.

As the 2026 elections approach, one message rings clearly across the constituency: Dakabela County is ready for a leader who delivers, not one who hides behind a flag. And for many, the decision is already made — the Iron Lady is the future, and the era of absentee leadership is coming to an end.
