Elected in 2023 to represent Kanke Constituency, Hon. Gokum has, within a short period, carved a distinct identity as a focused, result-driven legislator. His journey through key leadership positions—Chairman, House Committee on Education; Deputy Majority Leader; and now Majority Leader—speaks volumes about the confidence reposed in him by his colleagues and constituents alike.
Once viewed with cautious optimism by critics, Hon. Gokum has since silenced doubts through performance. Today, even former skeptics openly acknowledge his effectiveness and impact.
Why the Endorsement?
Proven Track Record:
In just two and a half years, Hon. Gokum has directly touched lives across Kanke Constituency through strategic projects, human-capital development, and empowerment initiatives that address real community needs.
Leadership by Example:
Fondly nicknamed “Mr. No Room for Disappointment,” he wasted no time settling into office. His strong grasp of legislative processes and people-centred approach have translated into tangible progress both on the floor of the House and back home in his constituency.
Unprompted Support:
Support for Hon. Gokum’s second-term bid has not been driven by lobbying or persuasion. Rather, it has emerged organically from communities, students, political stakeholders, and grassroots supporters who see his service as genuine and impactful.
The Amper Zone APC Endorsement
On December 23, 2025, stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Amper Zone—including six ward chairmen, women leaders, party executives, and members—unanimously endorsed Hon. Joseph Gokum for a second term in 2027.
Their verdict was clear: his excellent performance and quality representation merit another mandate.
Prominent voices at the meeting included former Chairmen of Kanke Local Government Area, Hon. Simon Ngwan and Hon. Emmanuel Lar. Others were Hon. Paul Juryit, Cecilia Pali, Raphael Gotau, Dawok Goma, and the Senior Legislative Aide to the Majority Leader, Hon. Lengdima Kassam. All speakers agreed that Hon. Gokum has set a new benchmark for effective representation in Kanke.
What Lies Ahead
Political observers believe that if Hon. Gokum’s current trajectory continues, Kanke Constituency stands to gain even more prominence and developmental strides. His re-election could further strengthen the constituency’s political relevance and unlock greater opportunities for its people.
For many, the endorsement is not just about continuity—it is a recognition of competence, character, and commitment.
