Popular Nollywood actor Zubby Michael has signaled his intention to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The actor made this known on Saturday after obtaining the membership form of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in his hometown, Ozubulu Ward 5, in Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Zubby Michael is aiming to represent the Nnewi North, Nnewi South, and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency.
His political move comes amid growing involvement of entertainers from the South-East in active politics, especially as preparations for the 2027 elections begin to gather momentum.
