We Are So Much Interested In Capturing The Omoro County Seat – DP

Okoler Opio Lo Amanu, the DP party spokesperson has said as a party, they are so much interested in capturing the Omoro county seat.

The Omoro County seat became vacant after the demise of the late Speaker, Jacob Oulanyah who passed on on the 20th of March.

The electoral commission called upon the interested parties to take up the position and some parties have already elected their leaders.

NRM has already endorsed Oulanyah’s son Andrew Ojok Oulanyah as their representative. However, DP says they are intentional about winning this too.

“As DP we are so much interested in capturing the Omoro county seat. Omoro has two counties.There is Tochi county and Omoro county. Tochi County is right now represented by a DP Member of Parliament, Peter Okot. There is absolutely no doubt that as DP, we would so much wish and we shall do whatever it takes to see that Omoro county is also represented by a DP Member of Parliament,” Amanu said.

However, Amanu, said it is still in keeping the reconciliation legacy of Oulanyah. According to him, a national dialogue is very possible in Uganda.

“We strongly believe that a national dialogue is possible in Uganda. However, one thing should be known, that is, it cannot be done alone. A dialogue means there are other parties that you’re going to engage. As a country, we need that dialogue, at least that is the DP’s stand. We have had quite a number of violent changes of power.”

“What we have done so far is to raise our voice and boldly come out to recommend a national conversation. We shall not stop at that only but we shall also physically engage the key players. This is until such a time when they will realize that indeed a national conversation is inevitable. So, we shall write to the clergymen and women,” he added.

Meanwhile, people have criticized the way politics has become family business lately. The replacement of Oulanyah with his son has caused a lot of talk in the political arena. Is it a family affair?
