4 Aspiring Candidates for Soroti City East MP Bye-Election have today morning Stepped Down aborting their previous plans of turning up before the Soroti city Electoral commission for nominations
In a press conference held at the home of the eastern region NRM vice chairperson, Hon Capt. Mike Mukula, this morning, the four agreed to step down and rally support towards the NRM’s party candidate, Herbert Edmund Ariko.
The four include Sarah Inachu, Herbert Olaboro Omoding commonly known as OMO and Stephen Omoding also known as Eupa while the other youthful candidate is Joseph Ogita an independent who once contested in the Soroti county elections.
Three of these were NRM leaning candidates who picked interest to contest for the Soroti city east by election. The seat in contention was previously occupied by Moses Okia Attan of the Forum for Democratic Change party (FDC), but his election was nullified by the High Court on grounds that it was illegal for the EC to reconstitute the boundaries of Soroti City East.
A total of seven candidates by yesterday the 18th July 2022 had expressed their interests to run for Soroti City East Division by-elections, according to the program that was released by EC.
While addressing the press conference, Capt. Mike Mukula called upon all NRM supporters to rally behind Ariko so that they win the election hands down.
“This election should be very free and fair, and the combination of all these brothers and sisters behind Ariko will give us a landslide victory,” Mukula said.
