As the nation eagerly anticipates the NRM party primary election scheduled for July 17, 2025, the ongoing celebration and warm reception for Mr. Okodo Peter during the NRM joint campaign highlight a promising outlook for his candidacy in Kioga North.

His warm reception during visits to various sub-counties, particularly Abeja and Awelo,Arwotcek, Etam. Akwon, Agikdak ,Opali and Aputi  signals a promising lead that might redefine political allegiances in the region.

During his visit to Abeja on Saturday, July 12, 2025, Mr. Okodo addressed the residents with a clear message of gratitude and determination.

He proudly highlighted his achievements within the Abeja sub-county, emphasizing the construction of a much-needed school dormitory for Akol P7, which is set to significantly improve educational access for local children.

 Additionally, he extended his support to various churches in Akol, repaired a crucial borehole for clean water access, and provided scholarships for vulnerable children, further demonstrating his dedication to uplifting the community.

Mr. Okodo also took the opportunity to acknowledge the warm reception he continues to receive from various sub-counties, contrasting this with the apparent neglect of Hon. James Olobo Dubai, the incumbent MP for Kioga North.

Many residents expressed their appreciation for Mr. Okodo’s initiatives, indicating a growing desire for new leadership in the region.

In Awelo, on Sunday, July 13, 2025, Mr. Okodo reiterated his commitment to education by mentioning his substantial support for Adwala Primary School, Atero Community School, and Atomoro Primary School.

He highlighted his efforts to empower the community through financial assistance to various village savings groups, promoting economic inclusion and stability among local families.

In stark contrast, Hon. Dubai faced rejection from the community as he attempted to address the public regarding his previous achievements and manifesto.

This growing sentiment of disillusionment with the incumbent reflects a significant shift in the political landscape of Kioga North.

Mr. Okodo’s vision for Kioga North encompasses a broader agenda aimed at tackling critical issues such as health care, education, financial inclusion, and infrastructure development.

 His plans include establishing hand-skilling centers for young mothers and fathers, improving farming techniques, and ensuring access to clean water.

The enthusiastic response from the community indicates that they are looking for a representative who genuinely understands and addresses their needs.

As we move closer to the primary election date, the momentum behind Mr. Okodo Peter appears to be growing stronger, positioning him as a formidable candidate in the eyes of the electorate in Kioga North.
