A curtain of rain fell from the Palam skies, but it neither thinned the crowd nor dampened the message. Instead, it baptized a campaign stop that blended memory, resilience and political resolve as Ngariam County MP and State Minister for Education and Sports, Hon Peter Ogwang, pitched camp in Palam Subcounty, pressing on with his grassroots tour.

When the Heavens Opened, the Message Held

Sheltering inside Palam Church of Uganda, supporters listened as Hon Ogwang traced the long arc of the area’s journey—from fear to firmness, from neglect to infrastructure. He framed the narrative around continuity and choice, urging voters to reflect on the past, assess the present, and vote with clarity.

“It’s only NRM that knows where we have come from, where we are, and where we are going. Don’t vote blindly. Be wise,” he told the gathering, his words rising above the rhythm of the rain.

From Stone Dust to State Power

In a moment that drew nods and murmurs of recognition, Ogwang peeled back the layers of his own life story—one etched with hardship and hustle. He spoke of selling mandazi, quarrying stones, hawking boiled maize and roasted soya—small trades that fed big dreams. The testimony was not nostalgia, but a reminder of lived experience and earned perspective.

“I know poverty because I lived it,” he said, aligning his personal climb with the aspirations of ordinary families across Palam.

Promises, Projects and a People’s Pledge

Turning to delivery, the minister cited tangible milestones: the security road to Iising Mountain, progress on piped water, and a candid admission of existing gaps—paired with pledges to close them.

Welcoming him, LC1 Chairperson John Imaikorit likened the rain to an omen of abundance, saying it signaled a brighter chapter for Palam.

By the meeting’s end, residents voiced their confidence in continuity, resolving to support President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, Vice President Jessica Alupo Epel, and Hon Peter Ogwang in the January 15, 2026 polls—casting their choice as a vote for stability, experience and forward motion.

In Palam, the rain passed. The resolve remained.
