She contested for the Bangha Ward 7 seat in Khana Local Government Area and emerged victorious, becoming the youngest councillor in the state.
The Rivers State Local Government elections took place on Saturday, August 30, 2025, across 6,866 polling units in 319 wards. The elections aimed to elect local government chairpersons and councillors to replace council administrators appointed in April 2025.
These polls came six months after the Supreme Court annulled the previous council elections held on October 5, 2024. According to the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC), the APC won 20 of the 23 local government areas, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) claimed victories in Obio/Akpor, Ogba/Egbema/Ndon, and Port Harcourt City. APC candidates also secured wins in Ahoada East, Asari Toru, Ikwerre, Bonny, Degema, Eleme, Etche, Gokana, and Khana LGAs.
Miss Olubari was officially introduced to APC party leaders and stakeholders just days before the election by Khana APC Chairman, Hon. Barile Ebenezer, during a ward-to-ward sensitization campaign.
The Rivers State election featured candidates from several political parties, including APC, PDP, Labour Party (LP), All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Zenith Party, Accord, African Action Congress, Action People’s Party (APP), Social Democratic Party (SDP), Action Alliance, Youth Party, Young Progressive Party, Action Democratic, New Nigerian People’s Party, National Rescue Movement, and Allied People’s Party.
