Court blocks election of rival Lango paramount chief

Drama unfolded in Lango Sub-region on Friday after a high court put a break on all activities regarding the election of another paramount chief (Won Nyaci) of Lango.

Friday’s development comes following last week’s ruling in which the Lira High Court deemed the Lango Cultural Foundation non-existent.

The foundation remains opposed to the earlier election of Eng Dr Michael Moses Odongo Okune as the leader of the Lango tribal group.

The former executive director of Uganda Road Fund (URF), Dr Odongo, was voted paramount chief during an election conducted by the Lango Cultural Institution’s electoral body on March 1, 2024.

But the rival foundation on Friday sought to vote another leader in an election that attracted candidates including Dr Dan Okello, Dickson Ogwang Okul, Benjamin Okii and Dr Richard Nam.
