Dokolo Woman MP By-election

Today is polling day for the by-election of the Woman Representative to Parliament for Dokolo District.

Polling materials for the Dokolo Woman MP By-election were dispatched to their respective polling stations at 3am.

The materials were distributed by the assigned sub-county supervisors who are staff of the Commission escorted by police constables.

Early dispatch of polling materials helps the commission to distribute them in time and enables early opening of polling.

Voting will take place at all the one hundred and seventy-three (173) polling stations in the district starting at 7am, and ending at 4 pm.

A total number of ninety-five thousand six hundred and eighty-three (95,683) voters are registered for this by-election.

Six candidates are contesting for the seat which fell vacant following the death of former MP, Hon. Cecilia Atim Ogwal on 18th January 2024.

The candidates are: Adongo Janet Rose Elau Okello (National Resistance Movement, NRM); Ageno Harriet (National Unity Platform, NUP); Aguti Sarah (Uganda Peoples’ Congress, UPC); Akullo Esther Obot (Independent); Alwoc Austin Ogwal Rosemary (Forum for Democratic Change, FDC) and Arao Rebecca (Independent).
