KAMPALA, Uganda — The Uganda Peoples Congress (UPC) is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming Kisoro District Woman MP by-election, slated for November 14.
Led by President Jimmy Akena Obote, the party has been actively campaigning across the district, rallying support for their candidate, Ms. Ingabire Mable.
Ingabire’s message of unity and development has resonated deeply with the people of Kisoro, who are seeking a leader who can bring about positive change. Her commitment to empowering women and promoting economic growth has earned her widespread support, particularly among female voters and the local business community.
The UPC’s campaign has gained momentum in recent weeks, with notable figures joining the effort. Hon. Dr. Eunice Otuko Apio, Hon. Okello Lemba Nelson, and Hon. Aguti Sarah have all thrown their weight behind Ingabire, demonstrating the party’s unity and strength.
This show of unity is a significant factor in UPC’s growing popularity in Kisoro. The party’s message of unity and inclusivity has transcended tribal and ethnic lines, appealing to voters from all backgrounds. Ingabire’s commitment to empowering women has also struck a chord, with many female voters seeing her as a beacon of hope for a brighter future.
UPC’s focus on promoting economic growth and development has addressed the concerns of the local business community. Ingabire has outlined a clear vision for Kisoro’s economic future, one that prioritizes job creation, infrastructure development, and support for small businesses.
As the election draws near, the UPC is confident of its chances. With its rich history and commitment to the people of Uganda, the party is well-positioned to make a significant impact in Kisoro. The people of Kisoro will decide on November 14 whether UPC’s momentum will secure victory.
The by-election has attracted six candidates, including representatives from the National Resistance Movement (NRM), National Unity Platform (NUP), Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), People’s Progressive Party (PPP), and an Independent candidate. However, UPC’s recent wins in Oyam North County and Dokolo District Woman MP have bolstered optimism within the party.
Ingabire’s optimism is palpable, citing the divisionism within the NRM party as a key advantage. “I want us to work together as Ugandans. I really don’t want to see the divisionism in NRM crossing to our UPC party,” she said.
As the campaign trail intensifies, one thing is clear: UPC is a force to be reckoned with in Kisoro. Will Ingabire’s message of unity and development resonate with voters on November 14? Only time will tell.
