Oyam, Uganda | Oyam North County NRM flag bearer for Member of Parliament Willy Omodo Omodo Kagere has appealed to voters in Oyam North to make full use of his presence in both government and cultural leadership, as he seeks to represent the constituency in Uganda’s next Parliament.
Addressing a community gathering in Otwal, Lango Cultural Institution speaker said his vision for Oyam North 2026-2031 is rooted in consistent engagement with the electorate.
He told residents that effective leadership “must be present, must listen, and must respond” to the needs of the people.
Omodo pointed to new bursary opportunities offered through the Lango Cultural Institution for vocational and nursing training, describing them as part of a broader push to expand educational access for young people.
He also highlighted ongoing efforts to support farmers entering coffee-growing programmes, arguing that agriculture remains central to economic transformation in Oyam North.
NRM Party elder Emor Milton Peter, who attended the meeting, encouraged voters to consider experience and dependability as they head towards the 2026 polls.
He said Omodo’s public record, particularly within cultural leadership, demonstrates a capacity to deliver beyond campaign promises.
NRM Women leaders in Otwal voiced similar sentiments, Teddy Aciobwona, Chairperson of the NRM Women’s League in the area, described Omodo as “a tested and trusted” candidate with the organisational strength needed to return the constituency to the NRM fold.
Some residents say his work on the ground is already shaping political opinion, Tom Angol, a local voter, told our reporter that Omodo’s visibility and his victory in the NRM primaries have raised expectations that he could offer a more hands-on style of representation if elected.
At the heart of Omodo’s campaign in Otwal is a focus on cultural heritage, education, and agricultural growth, priorities that clearly strike a chord with many voters.
With the 2026–2031 parliamentary race in Oyam North gaining momentum, the spotlight is on a question the candidate himself keeps asking: What can a community achieve when its leader is truly present and actively engaged?
