Amaiu said after his nomination that he is confident to retain the seat and has performed in the last four years.
“Actions speak louder than words and we have very good contenders for the seat.
“I am very confident because I have worked very hard in the last four years to maintain the people’s confidence.
“I have given water to communities and empowered them through their associations.
“I’ve done what I have put in the last four years and I need to come back to complete what I have started,” Amaiu highlighted.
