Otuke | The National Resistance Movement (NRM) leadership in Otuke District has renewed its call for unity and mass mobilisation ahead of the 2026 general elections, pledging firm support for President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
The meeting, held on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at Town Side Guest House in Otuke Town Council, was presided over by Julius Achon Bua, who is also the Member of Parliament for Otuke County and the NRM District Chairperson for Otuke, alongside Susan Abeja Okello, the Woman MP for the district.
During the gathering, NRM flags were raised to symbolise renewed solidarity and the revival of party structures across Otuke’s sub-counties, including Okwongo, Olilim, Adwari, Okwang, and Barjobi.
Achon said the initiative aims to restore discipline and cohesion among members, which he described as essential for delivering victory for President Museveni and the NRM in 2026.
“We are rebuilding our party from the grassroots up. Our goal is unity, stability, and full mobilisation for President Museveni. The NRM in Otuke must speak with one voice,” Achon said.
He urged party leaders to end internal wrangles and intimidation, warning that disunity only weakens the NRM’s image and hampers service delivery.
Abeja, who joined Achon in rallying members, said the NRM’s strength lies in grassroots structures, and called for collective effort in voter mobilisation ahead of next year’s elections.
“Let us coordinate closely and ensure that every household in Otuke votes for President Museveni and the NRM flagbearers. Unity and teamwork will secure our victory,” Abeja said.
Barjobi Sub-county Chairperson Daniel Ojok Aruca hailed Achon for taking a proactive leadership role in reconciling members and bridging gaps between the different party camps.
“Seeing our leaders—Achon, Abeja, and others—working together gives confidence to the supporters. This is what the people of Otuke have been waiting for,” Ojok said.
Party leaders Simon Obong Opio from Adwari and Betty Angom from Otuke Town Council echoed similar views, saying the meeting rekindled the party’s strength and restored trust among members.
Resident District Commissioner Erick Masiga commended the district NRM chairperson for steering unity, saying strong coordination at local level will be key in mobilising votes for President Museveni.
“Otuke is now ready to mobilise. Let us remain focused, disciplined, and loyal to the NRM’s vision under President Museveni,” Masiga said.
The leaders resolved to roll out similar mobilisation and reconciliation meetings across all sub-counties in the district as part of efforts to strengthen the NRM’s grassroots base ahead of the 2026 general elections.
