President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni today concluded his Presidential campaign trail in the Teso Sub-region with a grand rally at Emokori A Cell, Emokori Ward, Bukedea Town Council in Bukedea district.
Addressing a mammoth crowd, President Museveni thanked the people of Bukedea for their unwavering support to the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and for standing firmly behind the Speaker of Parliament and NRM Second National Vice Chairperson, Rt. Hon. Anita Annet Among.
He described her re-election as a clear demonstration of the people’s confidence in tested leadership.
“I want to thank you, the people of Bukedea, for supporting Anita Among and showing how shallow and bogus NUP is. The lady who was put to contest against her was even her relative, but they didn’t know. I congratulate Anita Among,” President Museveni said.
The President reminded the gathering that the first major contribution of the NRM is peace, recalling his days in the bush when he used to camp in the area. “Because of the correct ideology, we were able to end all these wars. That is how Uganda has become an island of peace, hosting millions of refugees from our brother countries,” he said.
He emphasized that the second contribution of the NRM is development, citing major achievements in economic infrastructure such as roads, electricity, and telecommunications.
