In her campaign, Anek promised to be accountable to the people of Agago, pledging to support women, men, youth, orphans, and all groups without discrimination. She emphasized her commitment to delivering results through notable and service-oriented initiatives, with a focus on uniting the people of Agago District toward long-term development and wealth creation via socio-economic transformation.

When challenges arise, she faces them head-on, dealing with the facts as they are and constantly striving for improvement. She is dedicated to enhancing the welfare of NRM supporters in Agago District.
“Key on my agenda is addressing the security challenges at the border points, especially in areas like Omiya Pacwa, Paimol, Wol, Lira Kato, Lapono, Akwat, Adilang, and other sub-counties, where Karamojong cattle rustlers continue to disturb our people,” said Anek.
Her focus is also on promoting unity and ensuring equal resource distribution across all the sub-counties in Agago District. She advocates for transparency in employment opportunities, better health services, improved education standards, and uplifting the youth from poverty. Additionally, she is committed to ensuring effective legislation at the parliamentary level.
Anek emphasized that she will balance development projects across all sub-counties, including scholarships, road rehabilitation, student sponsorship, and the establishment of NRM Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs) in Agago District.
She also commended President Yoweri Museveni for his commendable work in wealth creation and his nationwide tours, which have built confidence among the people.
At the moment, Nancy is in the final stages of her consultations in various town councils and sub-counties within Agago District. She is confident of winning the Agago Woman MP NRM party primaries and the 2026 general elections.
