The Senator representing Kaduna South Senatorial District, Sunday Katung, has officially declared his intention to seek re-election in the 2027 general elections.

Katung also endorsed President Bola Tinubu and Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani for expected second-term bids.

The declaration was made during a meeting with All Progressives Congress local government chairmen from Kaduna South, held in Abuja.

According to a statement issued on Friday by his Special Adviser on Media and Communications, Midat Joseph, the senator said his decision was motivated by the need to build on achievements already recorded and complete ongoing projects across Southern Kaduna.

“I am seeking a second term to consolidate on the gains we have made, complete ongoing initiatives, and continue to provide quality representation to our people,” he said.

Katung linked his ambition to the policy direction of both the Federal Government and the Kaduna State Government.

He said the Renewed Hope agenda of President Tinubu and the development plans of Governor Uba Sani require experienced lawmakers who can help drive implementation at the grassroots level.

The senator urged party leaders and members to intensify mobilisation efforts ahead of the 2027 elections.

“The task before us requires unity, commitment, and strategic mobilisation. Southern Kaduna must remain firmly aligned with the APC to safeguard and expand the developmental strides already recorded,” he added.

He also assured party stakeholders of his commitment to inclusive governance, unity, and continued development across the eight local government areas in Kaduna South Senatorial District.

Katung is currently serving his first term in the Senate and has been involved in legislative and constituency projects focused on infrastructure and social services in the district.
