With years of frustration over poor service delivery and unmet promises, locals now say the time has come to back a leader who listens, acts, and sacrifices for the community.
Queen Amolo, a Ugandan-American entrepreneur and philanthropist, contested in the 2021 elections but lost to the incumbent Minister of Gender, Labour and Social Development, Hon. Betty Amongi. However, with Amongi now shifting her political base to contest for the Lira City Woman MP seat, the stage is set for Amolo’s political resurgence.
“She is one of us. She returned from America not to show off but to build us,” said Ambrose Ogwang of Olamadek Village, Loro Subcounty. “She has stood with the poor, the sick, the grieving—long before elections came.”
For years, Oyam South has struggled with impassable roads, high poverty levels, poor healthcare, and collapsing education infrastructure. Residents say their plight has been ignored for far too long.
“Our MP became a national minister and forgot about us. Now she’s taking our votes to Lira City to chase personal ambition,” said John Fred Amuku of Wangdwe Village, Aber Subcounty.
In contrast, Queen Amolo is being praised not for promises—but for visible, tangible impact.
“When she came in 2019, she empowered our women with business capital. My wife is now running a successful business because of her,” said Moses Ojede of Adakoberiot Village, Opelere Parish. “She’s not just talking. She’s done it.”
Amolo’s manifesto focuses on:
- Improving access roads
- Boosting household incomes
- Reviving healthcare and education
- Women empowerment through financial support to local groups
“She’s prioritizing us over herself. She’s leaving a comfortable life in America to serve this community,” another voter noted. “That’s the spirit we need.”
Denis Ogonya, a resident of Kamdini Town Council, urged fellow voters to “sieve leaders” carefully before casting their votes.
“This time, we must vote people-centred leaders. Not those who use our mandate to build empires for themselves,” he emphasized.
With the 2026 general elections looming, the political atmosphere in Oyam South is charged with anticipation—and Queen Dorothy Amolo is fast emerging as the symbol of hope, accountability, and people-first leadership.
