The Amolatar LCV chairman Geoffrey Ocen (Kiring) said for a long period of time,the people in Lango sub-region were voting other candidates from other areas , therefore this time they must rally and vote Akena Jimmy as Party president of UPC in 2026 instead of voting for other presidential candidate outside their region.
He was joined by the Apac LCV chairman Odongo Asanti who said it is now time to vote for Akena Jimmy as the next Uganda president without fear and defined the word UPC in the local language as(Um Papi Col).
However,conclusively Hon Jimmy Michael Akena who is currently serving as the MP of Lira City East Division ,told Amolatar voters that”If any body ask you, you tell them Akena is on the way”.
MP Okot Moses Junior Bitek representing Kioga constituency ,tasks UPC party president(Akena Jimmy )to be serious and stick to his presidential bid but should not decieve the people of Amolatar district that he shall be contesting in 2026 where as not.
Ogwang Patrick commonly known as”Med Mac”said Akena Jimmy Michael is a true leader who will change the mode of politics in Lango sub-region and the whole Uganda.
Ogwang Patrick ‘Med Mac’ said he will contest in 2026 for the position of North Kioga MP seat under UPC party ticket.
He said UPC Party will take over most seats come 2026 because of the trust people have in Hon Jimmy Michael Akena Obote and the current level of moblization in the party that has kicked off country wide.
