As the nomination day of candidates for the Omoro by-election draws nearer, the National Resistance Movement has unveiled their candidate Andrew Ojok Oulanyah as their candidate to hold the party flag to replace his father, the late Jacob Oulanyah.

The NRM secretary general, Richard Todwong unveiled the candidate with a warning to the locals in Omoro district against casting a vote for any opposition candidate, saying it could risk losing out on service delivery.

Ojok was unveiled before hundreds of delegates and supporters during the Omoro district NRM conference yesterday which convened at Opit Secondary School playground after going through unopposed after seven contenders who had expressed interest all stepped aside in his favor.

Speaking shortly after this event, Todwong said that voting an NRM candidate will ensure improved services and the transformation of the district, calling for a joint support in in order to win this seat,

He said that the party settled on having Ojok unopposed to desist from politics of division during the time of mourning Oulanyah.

Todwong asked the entire Omoro district leadership to campaign for Ojok till victory is realised, noting that he is the only person who can deliver the people of Omoro to the promised land as he continues to uplift the legacy of his father.

Okello Oryem, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, asked Omoro residents to shun opposition who he described as inhuman, having encouraged their supporters to protest against the treatment of Oulanyah when he was flown to the US early this year.

The party NRM will present Andrew Ojok to the Electoral Commission for nomination on May 12 and thereafter announce their campaign program

The election will take place on May 26.
