Local leaders in Kumi District have urged residents to abandon post-election political bickering and concentrate on development and agriculture as the region prepares for the planting season.


Following the recently concluded elections that sparked divisions among voters across the country, Kumi District National Resistance Movement chairperson Amongin Aporu cautioned residents against prolonging political fights, warning that it undermines the community’s growth and social cohesion.

She emphasized that Kumi’s economy heavily depends on agriculture, especially as the rains return, and encouraged residents to fully utilize government initiatives designed to empower rural families. 

Kumi Resident District Commissioner, John Bosco Mubito, commended the peaceful conduct of elections but condemned those still fomenting chaos. Mubito further advised aggrieved candidates to seek redress through legal channels rather than inciting division within the community.
