In a compelling call to action for the residents of Amolatar District, Peter Okodo, the parliamentary candidate for the Kioga North constituency, has urged the electorate to exercise discernment in their voting choices ahead of the 2026 elections.
His appeal came during a recent visit to the Arwotcek Catholic Chapel, where he underscored the importance of selecting competent leaders who will prioritize community development.
Addressing congregants, Okodo emphasized that choosing a candidate is not merely a civic duty but a pivotal decision that influences the district’s progress.
He articulated, “Casting your vote for a candidate equates to relinquishing your rights, which are crucial for enhancing education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation initiatives.” This statement resonated deeply, encouraging openness and a focus on long-term benefits over short-term gains.
Okodo’s commitment to supporting local initiatives was evident through his generous donations.
He contributed five hundred thousand shillings (500,000) towards painting the walls of the Arwotcek Catholic Chapel, demonstrating a tangible investment in the church’s upkeep and its role as a community pillar.
His philanthropic efforts continued at the Church of Uganda in Otangocinge, where he advocated for unity and political engagement despite not holding an office.
He highlighted the shared identity of all citizens in Amolatar, fostering a sense of belonging and collective responsibility.
Further emphasizing the critical role of education and mutual respect in governance, Okodo stated that voters must recognize that their most effective leader is one they choose collectively.
His message called for compassion and consideration in the political arena, where love and cooperation among constituents are essential for a prosperous community.
In addition to his contributions, Okodo donated another five hundred thousand shillings for a construction project at the Church of Uganda and made a further donation of the same amount to the Holy Trinity Abedmot Church of Uganda in Chakwara, Awelo Archdeaconry.
His generosity did not stop there; he also purchased a goat for three hundred fifty thousand shillings, presenting it to four elderly church members as a gesture of gratitude for their enduring faith and longevity.
Expressing heartfelt appreciation during his visits, Okodo acknowledged the congregation’s dedication to strengthening their faith and developing their community.
He remarked, “Blessings are found in your collective efforts,” and encouraged others to invest their beliefs and resources into the church.
Peter Okodo’s visits have left a lasting impression, reflecting his vision for a united and progressive Amolatar District.
By fostering dialogue, community involvement, and charitable contributions, he aims not only to enhance the spiritual fabric of the area but also to encourage residents to make informed decisions at the ballot box.
As the 2026 elections approach, his message of unity, respect, and thoughtful leadership resonates strongly among the people of Amolatar.
