Rt. Hon. Kingsley Ogundu Chinda current member of the House of Representatives, representing Obio/ Akpor Federal Constituency, Rivers State has been in the news lately for good reasons. He emerged a few months ago as the Rivers State gubernatorial candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 general elections . He is the immediate past Minority Leader of the current 10th House of Representatives.
He has used his over a decade and half stints in the National Assembly to demonstrate his preparedness to occupy the Rivers Brick House in a remarkable manner. As minority leader of the House, he showed his leadership dexterities to the admiration of his colleagues by introducing a brand of opposition leadership style that was largely innovative, moderate and strategic.
Accordingly, Chinda provided an alternative legislative governance model that is inherently harmonious as a result boosted the bargaining power of members of the opposition in the House. This creative leadership paradigm distinguished him so exceedingly in the House.
He remains one of the most outspoken members of the House. Chinda always finds his voice on the floor of the House and is one of the notable lawmakers who have contributed immensely in reshaping National Assembly as an institution in a considerable manner.
