The race for the Omoro County Member of Parliament bye-election has taken shape with FDC (Forum for Democratic Change) Party unveiling its own flagbearer.
Owani Denis Dickson was unveiled this morning, 29th April, 2022 by the Party’s President, Eng. Patrick Amuriat at the Party’s headquarters in Najjanankumbi, Kampala.
Owani joins NRM’s Andrew Ojok Oulanyah (son to the late Speaker of Parliament and MP Omoro County), and NUP’s Simon Tolit Akecha.
“We unveil Mr Owani Denis Dickson as our flag bearer for Omoro county & Ms Ayo Mercy as a District Councilor for Lalogi/Lakwaya Sub County,” Amuriat said.
He also revealed that the Party’s structured campaign will be coordinated by Hon. OJara Okin of Chua West.
Meanwhile, the National Unity Party had earlier chosen Toolit Simon Akecha as its candidate for the Omoro County MP by-election that is due on 26th May this year. He competed against five other candidates.
This is not the first time Toolit, a former member of Forum for Democratic Change Party runs for the seat. He stood against former MP Jacob Oulanyah in 2016. After he didn’t win, he went to court to challenge Oulanyah’s victory.
