President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, accompanied by the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Janet Museveni, on Monday October 27, 2025, held his campaign rally in Kotido District at Lomukura Primary School, Kotido Central Division in Kotido Municipality.

President Museveni began his address by commending the people of Karamoja for embracing peace and supporting government efforts to disarm the region.

“Our first point in the NRM Manifesto is peace. When we stopped guns, there was a woman in Nakapiripirit I will never forget — she had been married to nine men, and all of them died because of the gun,” the President recalled.

He thanked the Karamojong who helped in the disarmament process and specifically appreciated individuals like Natuk Judith for convincing the Karachunas (youth warriors) to voluntarily hand over guns.
