Speaking at the palace, Barrister Raymos Guanah said if elected, the welfare of farmers would be taken care of through mechanized farming and provision of improved seedlings.
Guanah ,a former commissioner disclosed that empowerment of the youth was the driving force of his political ambition.
Responding, his Majesty the Pere of Kabowei kingdom, Barrister Erebulu commended the two politicians for offering themselves for service.
The monarch tasked them not to forget their campaign promises and offered his prayers and blessings.
On a visit to the palace of the Ebenanaowei of Kumbo, His Majesty Jackson Angalabiri, Obriki said he was motivated to go to the House of Representatives because the incumbent after 24 years has not been able to attract any meaningful development to the constituency.

Also speaking at the palace, Guanah, a former LGA chairman said he has a passion for grassroots developments and promised to make the completion of Patani local government Secretariat a priority.
