Voters in Lango Sub-region have revealed why they threw out all the incumbent district chairpersons in the January 21 polls.
Voters cited corruption coupled with poor service delivery as some of the factors that informed their choices for district chairpersons.
Eight incumbent chairpersons failed to retain their seats in Dokolo, Lira, Oyam, Kwania, Amolatar, Otuke, Kole and Alebtong districts. There are nine districts that make up Lango.
It is only in Apac where the incumbent, Mr Bob Okae (UPC), chose to contest for the Kwania North parliamentary seat, which he won.  
In Lira, Mr Alex Oremo Alot of the Uganda Peoples Congress (UPC) lost the seat he has occupied for the last 15 years to NRM’s Richard Cox Okello Orik.
