Speaking to journalists at the FDC party headquarters shortly after the nomination of their candidate, Patrick Oboi Amuriat the party president appealed to electorates in Oyam North county to support Dr . Okello Newton Freddy. He warned the Electoral Commission, security forces against disenfranchise, voter intimidation and other irregularities as it was a case in the recently concluded Bukedea district LCV by-election.

“As usual, coming from Bukedea and a type of election as it was, the party understands how the Oyam by election must be managed. We hope the police and security forces do not continue to traumatize the people of Oyam and Northern Uganda by killing and arresting with no crime members of the constituency and leaders who come to offer democratic and civil support to their candidate,” he warned.

Amuriat was uncertain on whether FDC will run to court to contest what he termed as the sham electoral results of Bukedea LC V by-election but , he instead insisted that they are going in Oyam to deliver a people’s protracted victory than being shaken by any intimidation.

The Oyam North county MP Seat fell vacant after the death of Hon. Col. Charles Okello Engola (Rtd), the minister of state for labour who was gunned down by his bodyguard Pte Wilson Sabiiti who later shot himself dead on May 2.
