Aguata Federal Constituency: Debunking the Zoning Myth

Since 1999, Aguata’s representation in the House of Representatives has never followed a strict zoning formula between Aguata North and South. Elections have been decided by voters’ preferences, not by an unwritten agreement. Leaders from both zones have alternated in office based on electoral outcomes. The recent call for zoning appears to be a situational demand rather than an established tradition. If zoning applies anywhere, it belongs to state-level positions like local government chairs, not a democratic federal seat. Claiming it is “Aguata South’s turn” conflicts with our constituency’s history and democratic practice.
