Lira, Uganda | Health Minister and Lira City Woman MP, Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng Ocero, has launched her 2026–2031 re-election campaign in Boke Ward, Lira City East Division, with a call for continuity and strengthened development in the city.
Speaking to thousands of supporters, Dr. Aceng said the rapid changes seen in Lira City over the last four years were a result of what she described as deliberate, focused and accountable leadership.
She appealed to residents to renew her mandate so she can build on what she termed the “foundation of transformation” laid since 2021.
Dr. Aceng told the gathering that residents of Boke had raised priority concerns including poor roads, unreliable electricity, limited access to clean water and the absence of a health facility.
She assured them that these issues would feature prominently in her next-term agenda.
The event also attracted religious leaders. Bishop Tom Ibrahim Okello, who addressed the rally, urged residents to support leaders who uphold moral and spiritual values.
He advised voters to choose leaders guided by faith and integrity, arguing that such attributes are essential for effective public service.
Throughout her remarks, Dr. Aceng referenced achievements made during the 2021–2026 period, pointing to improvements in health services, infrastructure expansion and community programmes.
She said her next five years would focus on scaling up service delivery and positioning Lira City as a regional hub for growth.
The Boke Ward launch marked the beginning of what her campaign team described as a citywide mobilisation effort aimed at consolidating the momentum of development and strengthening public support ahead of the 2026 elections.
