Widely known as “DK Odongo”, the Alebtong chairperson highlighted the significant developmental strides made in the district, citing the delivery of an ambulance by the Ministry of Health in 2013.

The ambulance, he said, has been instrumental in saving many lives.

Furthermore, he pointed out that nearly all sub-counties in Alebtong district now have access to electricity, which he described as a hallmark of development.

Vice President Jessica Alupo expressed gratitude to the people of Lango for supporting the National Resistance Movement (NRM) government and President Museveni.

Alupo remarked that the people of Lango hold President Museveni in high regard for his exemplary leadership, which she believes is a blessing from God. She noted that the upcoming elections in January 2026 present an opportunity to vote for NRM candidates nationwide.

In his address, the President recounted that following the fall of Idi Amin’s regime in 1979, he commanded an army of over 20,000 troops and recovered more than 41,000 firearms from the Karamoja sub-region.

He emphasized that the number of weapons in Karamoja exceeded those possessed by both the Amin and Obote administrations. He asserted that he has restored peace in Northern Uganda and across the nation.

Museveni noted the four key areas essential for developmental progress: education, health, and infrastructure, among others.

He assured the crowd that the government is actively working on road improvements and expressed his desire to alleviate poverty, particularly for those living near the roads.

He thanked the people of Lango for their endorsement.
