President Museveni has called on the locals in Soroti to rebuild their connection with the ruling government in order for them to benefit from government programmes.

Museveni, while campaigning for NRM flag bearer for the Soroti City East by-elections, Herbert Ariko, reiterated that even when the government serves the general representation of the Ugandan citizenship, the need to pay attention to the small needs in Soroti may be overlooked if they do not have the right representation.

Museveni rallied the people of Soroti City East to cast their votes in favour of Ariko so that effective service delivery may be accomplished by properly coordinating with NRM structures and programmes.

Soroti City East goes to polls on the 28th of July to determine the MP of the constituency with Ariko’s main challenger being FDC’s Moses Attan whose 2021 victory was nullified by court.
