Dokolo; The political battleground of Dokolo is witnessing a surge in activity as leaders from the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), based in Najanankumbi, converge to bolster support for their candidate, Dr. Rosemary Austin Alwoc Ogwal. Spearheading the campaign is Engineer Patric Amuriat Oboi, the FDC Party President, whose impassioned speeches are resonating with the crowds.
Dr. Ogwal, daughter of the late legislator Cecilia Ogwal, is championing the values of Pan Africanism and the rule of law as she seeks to continue her mother’s legacy. Her message has found resonance among the populace as the election day looms closer.
Joining the fray are notable figures like Soroti City Woman Member of Parliament, Joan Alobo Achom, Moses Okia Attan representing Soroti City East, Jonathan Ebwalu, the MP for Soroti City West, and Ngora Woman Member of Parliament, Stella Isodo, all lending their support to the campaign.
President Amuriat, in his addresses, has sharply criticized the ruling government, branding it a “wagon of empty promises.” He specifically highlighted the issue of the Akibwa Stadium, dismissing it as another unfulfilled pledge. Speaking to the people of Lango, he urged them not to trust the government’s assurances regarding the stadium.
