Woman Member of Parliament–elect for Mitooma District, Kyarampe Rabecca, has pledged selfless service and inclusive leadership, following her victory in the recently concluded parliamentary elections.
In her first public message after the announcement of results, Kyarampe said her win was a collective achievement for the people of Mitooma and vowed to be a true voice for all residents.
“I commit myself to selfless service, inclusive leadership, and to being a true voice for the people of Mitooma. Together, we shall work for development, dignity, and a brighter future for our district,” Kyarampe said.
She commended voters across the district for the confidence they placed in her, saying the outcome reflected a shared desire for unity and progress.
“This victory belongs to all of us,” she said, expressing gratitude to women, men, youth, elders, religious and opinion leaders, and her campaign team for their support throughout the campaign period.
