Vice President Alupo has been re-elected as chairperson for the veteran Katakwi District.
Her re-election was announced by James Otilem, the Katakwi District NRM
registrar, following the withdrawal of other candidates, Private Charles Ikabat
and Rtd Col. Basil Amodoi, just before the election.
This is the third time Alupo has been declared
unopposed within the NRM party structure, and the second time she has
successfully retained her seat.
Four
other members of the veterans’ committee were declared unopposed: Maj Joseph
Ocar as Vice Chairperson, George William Ariko as General Secretary, Col (Rtd)
Basil Amodoi as Treasurer, and Capt (Rtd) Justine Eilor for Publicity.
Alupo highlighted that
the election process was conducted in a free and fair manner, in line with the
NRM's core principles of democracy, nationalism, pan-Africanism, and
socio-economic transformation.
She encouraged all delegates to maintain peace and unity,
regardless of the election outcomes, and to follow the guidelines set by the
NRM during elections.
//Cue in: “Thank the Katakwi district...
Cue out: .........The country very quickly”
In their announcement about stepping back from the race,
Amodoi highlighted the crucial need to honour the perspectives of higher-ups in
the army, even though they had initially intended to run for the position.
John Robert Okiror from Toroma sub-county was elected as the new NRM Chairperson for Katakwi District, with Raymond Richard Odeke from Guyaguya sub-county serving as his vice.
