Adjumani ready to host Museveni Tomorrow Ahead of September 17 By-election

What the report says

ADJUMANI, Uganda — Watchdog Uganda reports that Adjumani West is preparing to host President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Tuesday as the National Resistance Movement wraps up campaigning for its candidate, Leku James Pilli, ahead of the September 17 by-election. Museveni, who also serves as NRM national chairman, is expected to take part in a rally on September 15 that will formally close the party’s campaign period.

According to the report, the president’s visit comes as NRM teams conduct village-to-village mobilisation in the constituency. The effort is being led by senior party figures including NRM Vice Chairperson for Northern Uganda Hamson Obua, Director of Mobilisation and Cadre Development Dr. Rosemary Sseninde, senior publicity manager Rogers Mulindwa, and local district leaders.

The article says party organisers have been holding meetings and radio talk shows to encourage turnout for the rally. Obua told supporters that residents have raised concerns about infrastructure and connectivity, especially the need for a bridge linking Adjumani to other parts of West Nile. He said the issue is still at a preliminary stage under the Ministry of Works and Transport.

Leku thanked voters for their support and said he intends to build on the legacy and unfinished plans of the late Gen. Moses Ali, who represented the constituency for many years. The report presents the by-election as important for both local representation and the NRM’s efforts to maintain support in Adjumani.
