The Speaker has exerted political relevance in Margibi County throughout his 12 years as lawmaker. Three years later, Speaker Nuquay led the campaign three months to the 2014 senatorial elections that saw the election of Jim Tornolah as senator of the county. Such political feat, according to Nuquay, distinguished him as the “face” of Margibi County politics and ensured that the PUP had a grip on the county. Observers of politics in the county are pointing out that Nuquay should blame himself for whatever negative results against the UP in Margibi County. Margibi County is a crucial county in terms of votes and the in the case of a runoff, the UP will certainly need the votes in the county to cement its place during the process.
