President Yoweri Museveni has arrived at Atabu Primary School, Bata Sub-County, Dokolo District, to campaign for NRM flag bearer Janet Adongo ahead of the Dokolo District Woman Representative by-election.
The campaigns have intensified, with several leaders of political parties rallying support for their candidates. Museveni is expected to highlight the remarkable achievements of the NRM party and unveil upcoming development programmes for the district.
Adongo is contesting against five other candidates. Currently, Patrick Amuriat, the leader of the Forum for Democratic Change, is in the area campaigning for Dr. Rosemary Alwoc Ogwal; Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu was there on the weekend campaigning for the National Unity Platform’s flag bearer, Harriet Ageno; and the Uganda People’s Congress is conversing support for Aguti Nyangkori.
Dr. Esther Akulo Obat Otad and Dr. Grace Anna Lalam, both independent candidates, are in the area, persuading voters to consider them on the polling day.
The District Woman Representative seat for Dokolo became vacant following the death of the former Representative (MP), Cecilia Barbara Atim Ogwal, which occurred on January 18, 2024. Mrs. Ogwal succumbed to a cancer-related illness at an unrevealed hospital in India, where she had been evacuated for specialised medical care.
