Imwatok Gains Ground as UDA Teso South Chairman, KUPPET Boss Back His MP Bid

Peter Imwatok's bid for the Teso South parliamentary seat has received significant support following the defection of United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Teso South Chairman Bonface Erute to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).

Imwatok welcomed Erute's decision, describing it as a commitment to development rather than personal interests. Erute's endorsement adds momentum to Imwatok's parliamentary ambitions.
