Patrick Okidi | Dokolo, (UG): According to Harriet Ageno, commonly known as ‘Nenidiro,’ in a telephone interview with our reporter on Thursday morning, she narrated that she is now set for the Dokolo by-election after being officially flagged off by her party President, Kyagulanyi Robert (Bobi Wine).

Recently, Omoo Geoffrey, Honorable Jasper Okello, and NUP Registrar of Dokolo District, along with sub-county leaders, attended a meeting with over 300 youth in Dokolo Town Council, including the Secretary-General of NUP.

A week ago, Opio, the chairperson of NUP Dokolo District, requested that an NUP office be opened in Dokolo and that the office bearers be facilitated to strengthen the party.

The party has therefore endorsed Harriet Ageno “Nenidiro” as their party flag bearer for the upcoming Dokolo Woman Member of Parliament by-election on Wednesday, from Kampala.

The flag bearer was unveiled by NUP President, Mr. Bobi Wine (Robert Kyagulanyi), on February 28, 2024.

The National Unity Platform (NUP) has flagged off their candidate a bit late for the Dokolo Woman MP by-election after about 10 candidates have shown interest in the same seat come March 21, 2024.

Ageno confirmed that she is going to canvass for votes under the NUP party ticket in Dokolo District.

Dr. Lalam Grace Annah Atine (independent), Sarah Aguti Nyangkori (UPC), Dr. Rosemary Alwoc Ogwal (FDC), Janet Adongo Elau (flag bearer for NRM), Abang Molly Kia (independent), Amongi Irene Ajwika (independent), among others, are in serious consultation as they wait for nominations on March 11 and 12, 2024.
