It is said the vehicle registration  number UBB 856W that was carrying the candidate’s Public Address system overturned several times leaving the two dead and 15 others injured at Ganda village, Panyimur town council in Pakwach district.

The District Police Commander for Packwa district Frank Muzoola attributed the accident to the truck driver’s failure to negotiate a sharp corner that has lately become a killer spot for travelers.

The deceased were later identified as Hellen Picho the FDC flag bearer for Nebbi Municipality Woman Councilor and the current councilor of the same area called Zulaika.
