Seven move to unseat Tororo South MP, Fredrick Angurra

Tororo county South Member of Parliament Fredrick Angura is in panic after seven people expressed interest to challenge him in 2026 polls.

Tororo County South constituency has since its creation been under the leadership of Fredrick Angura.

The incumbent  has been the giant, garnering almost 85% of votes in the past elections.

But as 2026 closing in, the political temperature has already risen in the constituency with over seven people expressing interest in take over from the incumbent.

Some of those eying Angura’s seat include; Peter Omuse currently deputy principal of Uganda college of commerce Pakwach Branch, Alfred Obore the chairperson land board of Tororo Archdiocese, David Asambo, Livingston Opeyo, Rojas Imiluk, Francis Egwaro and Moses Ingura.

The group accuse the incumbent member of Parliament of dwelling too much on district division, instead of lobbying for services for his people.

"My first priority is unity because in the constituency they're all categories of tribes" said Peter Omuse

Alfred Obore, one of those intending to join the race claimed the constituents have missed a lot in terms of representation.

"The issue of dwelling in tribalism rather than service delivery must end in this coming elections because Tororo county South people deserves better," Obore said

But to Angura, he has been there to represent the interest of his people

In response Angura, says those eying his seat should forget because he has done a lot for his people.

He boasts of extending electricity to all the villages within his constituency and fighting to have the district divided.

"We have only one thing to guide jealously now and that is our NRM office because it's leading us to achieve district status," Angurra said.

With almost all those expressing interest in the seat intending to come under NRM ticket, the group is however already worried of free and fair election given the fact that almost all those currently in the political district NRM office have been put by the incumbent.

" Angura must play clean politics knowing that office doesn't only belong to him but all of us" said Omuse

Others accuse the incumbent for always using those in office for his personal interest. The group allege that in almost all elections in the constituency, Angura just buys his way out.

" Somebody gets 17 votes but they add 4, zero zero, making it 17400 votes. Is there any polling station with such figures?" Alfred Obore said

Angura however denies all the allegations advising those interesting in his seat not fear, pledging that the election will be free and fair come primaries.

Tororo county South has got seventy three thousand voters.
