The political landscape of the Lango sub region has reached a pivotal turning point following a high stakes election that saw the birth of a fresh and visionary executive for the Lango Parliamentary Group. In a spirit of absolute solidarity, the legislators gathered in Lira to appoint a leadership team capable of navigating the region toward a more prosperous and united future. Leading the charge for public engagement is the Dokolo North Member of Parliament, Honorable Joseph Jones Ogwal, who has been entrusted with the vital role of Publicity Secretary.
The democratic process was presided over by the Honorable Sam Engola, the Minister for Disaster Preparedness and Refugees, ensuring a transparent and fair transition of power. This monumental gathering was graced by the presence of several high ranking government officials, including the Government Chief Whip, Honorable Jane Ruth Aceng, alongside Ministers Santa Alum and Mercy Lakisa. Their attendance underscored the profound importance of this new chapter for the people of Lango.
Taking the helm as the Chairperson of the group is Honorable Patrick Ogwang Obura, the representative for Oyam South, who will be supported by Honorable Janet Auma, the Amolatar District Woman Member of Parliament, in the role of Vice Chairperson. To ensure the smooth administrative and financial running of the caucus, Honorable Collins Angwech was chosen as General Secretary, while the esteemed Honorable Julius Acon will serve as the Treasurer.
Throughout the proceedings, the message from the region’s top ministers was loud and clear: unity is the only path forward. They challenged the newly elected leaders and all members of the caucus to set aside their individual political affiliations and prioritize the collective welfare of their constituents. The ministers emphasized that mutual respect, seamless teamwork, and a commitment to parliamentary excellence are the essential cornerstones of effective governance.
In a powerful display of gratitude, the members of the caucus paused to honor President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for his recent appointments of four ministers from the Lango sub region, viewing it as a testament to the deep trust placed in their local leadership. The newly formed executive pledged to build upon the foundations laid by their predecessors, promising to place the development of Lango at the very heart of their agenda. By vowing to work across party lines, these leaders have sent a resounding message that the progress of their communities is a shared responsibility that transcends personal interests. This new leadership is not just a change in names, but a renewed commitment to a brighter, more integrated future for every citizen in the sub region.
