Leaders across the Lango subregion are working hard to organize a major thanksgiving event to honor President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. This celebration follows his strong win in the 2026 general elections and is a way to show deep appreciation for the voters in the area. Sam Engola, a key advisor and local leader, is calling on every resident to show up in large numbers to mark this special occasion.
The event is scheduled to take place on April 18 at Lango College, with activities starting at 8:00 am. The organizers emphasize that this gathering is not restricted to any single political group. Instead, it is an open invitation to all community members, regardless of their political ties, to come together in a spirit of unity. The goal is to celebrate the overwhelming support the region showed for the President and to acknowledge the progress being made in the area.
The recent election results highlight why this celebration is so significant. In the Lango region, President Museveni received nearly 84 percent of the total votes, which is a much higher percentage than his main competitors. This massive support shows a major shift in local politics, as people from various political backgrounds joined together to back his leadership. Across the entire country, the President secured more than 71 percent of the vote, proving his continued popularity.
To ensure the day goes smoothly, security teams are already making detailed plans. There will be a strong police presence and modern surveillance to keep everyone safe. For those traveling to the event, specific parking has been set aside at Adyel Boarding Primary School to help manage traffic. With thousands of people expected to attend, these preparations are in place to make sure the thanksgiving is a peaceful and joyful success for the entire community.
