SOROTI CITY-The National Resistance Movement (NRM) has delivered a crushing verdict at the polls in Soroti City, sweeping both mayoral seats and leaving the opposition politically stranded. In one of the most emphatic urban victories in recent memory, the ruling party not only won—but dominated—signaling its firm control over the city’s political direction.

Yellow Tsunami Washes Over Soroti City

In Soroti City East Division, Latif Abdul Waali posted a staggering 11,003 votes, running rings around six other contenders. Opposition candidates barely registered on the scoreboard, their combined efforts failing to pose any real challenge to the NRM juggernaut. The margin of victory painted a clear picture: the electorate overwhelmingly rallied behind the ruling party’s flagbearer.

The scale of defeat exposed the opposition’s disarray. Candidates from NUP, DF, and independent ranks were reduced to the political sidelines, unable to mobilize meaningful support against NRM’s well-oiled grassroots machinery. What was expected by some to be a competitive contest instead turned into a one-sided affair.

A Resounding Mandate for the Ruling Party

With both mayoral seats secured, the NRM emerges from the Soroti City race with renewed political capital. The results amount to a ringing endorsement of the party’s agenda, effectively sidelining opposition forces and ushering in a new era of unified leadership under the yellow banner.
