The gathering in Ogwil Central Village emphasized the need to elect leaders committed to community progress.

He noted that underdevelopment and water scarcity remains key issues and urged residents to support Luwita’s candidacy.
Youth chairperson Patrick Kilama in his speech advised Luwita to make realistic promises and carefully select his representatives. The locals called for visionary leaders who can uplift household incomes through mindset change.
Luwita, who is contesting under the NRM ticket urged voters to prioritize character and accountability over party loyalty. He emphasized that electing dishonest leaders does not improve them, calling for locals to appreciate what the party has so far done under leadership of His Excellency Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni since 1986.
Pennina Lamunu described Luwita as God-sent, urging residents to vote for change. David Otim, a member of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party from Tyer Parish backed Luwita, emphasizing the need for good leaders over party affiliations.
