Dokolo, Uganda | During a campaign rally on Thursday in Agwata Town Council, Dokolo North County MP NRM flagbearer 2026-2031, Joseph Jones Ogwal Omara said he would work closely with local councillors to establish a dedicated budget for flood victims.
He noted that the proposal, once adopted by both the district council and Parliament, would strengthen emergency response mechanisms in the event of future natural disasters.
Ogwal also urged the electorate to remain cautious of individuals seeking votes despite having failed to deliver on previous mandates when they held public office.
In a separate address, Dokolo District Woman MP NRM flagbearer Janet Rose Adongo Elau reaffirmed that health would be central to her manifesto.
She said she would lobby for the upgrading of health centres across the district to improve service delivery.
The NRM candidates have recently enjoyed heightened visibility and support, with many voters crediting the party’s organisation and campaign message.
Several elders, including Nelson Owodo, Benard Etin, and Jaspher Angulu of Kachung Eastern, Central, and Western Wards, publicly expressed their confidence in Ogwal, Adongo, and LCV Chairperson hopeful seeking reelection James Otto Apili, describing the trio as leaders with “clear and transformative agendas.”
They pledged to back them fully in the 2026 general elections.
At the Agwata rally, voters from various categories, youth, women, men, and the elderly declared unified support for the NRM ticket “from top to bottom.”
Those endorsed include Ogwal Jones Omara for MP Dokolo North, Janet Rose Adongo Elau for Woman Member of Parliament, and James Otto Apili for District Chairperson.
The show of unity signals growing momentum for the ruling party in Dokolo as the 2026 polls draw closer.
