Dakabela County — Hon. Anyimo Harriet, an independent aspirant for Member of Parliament in Dakabela County, continues to gain momentum over the National Resistance Movement (NRM) flag bearer, Hon. Edopu Peter Edeku, according to reports coming in from across the county.

Local leaders and political observers note that Hon. Anyimo Harriet’s growing popularity is largely attributed to her consistent grassroots mobilization, inclusive leadership style, and development-oriented message. Residents from various sub-counties say her approach has inspired confidence among voters from different political backgrounds.

Despite contesting on an independent ticket, Hon. Anyimo Harriet has remained openly supportive of the NRM and has actively campaigned for President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni in Dakabela County. She has repeatedly emphasized that her candidature is driven by the people’s call for change and effective representation, not opposition to the ruling party.

“My mission is to unite Dakabela and work for its development,” Hon. Anyimo Harriet said during a recent campaign engagement. “Supporting President Museveni and standing with the people of Dakabela are not contradictory. We need peace, unity, and focused leadership.”

As the campaigns intensify, other candidates in the Dakabela parliamentary race have also continued to engage the electorate, presenting their respective visions for the county. While political competition remains active, community leaders have urged all aspirants and their supporters to conduct peaceful campaigns and avoid divisive rhetoric that could disrupt harmony within the county.

Members of the Dakabela community, including elders, youth leaders, and women’s groups, have collectively called for unity ahead of the elections. They have encouraged voters to assess candidates based on leadership capacity, integrity, and commitment to service rather than political affiliation alone.

Political analysts observe that Hon. Anyimo Harriet’s ability to balance independent leadership with visible support for the NRM’s national agenda has distinguished her from other contenders in the race. Her message of cooperation and inclusive governance has resonated with voters who are eager for progress while maintaining national stability.

With the election period drawing closer, stakeholders across Dakabela County continue to emphasize peace, unity, and issue-based politics. As all candidates intensify their campaigns, residents remain hopeful that the electoral process will strengthen democracy and pave the way for sustainable development in Dakabela County.
