In a dramatic turn of events, Soroti City has delivered a shocking blow to Mike Mukula and his campaign team. Team New Energy, led by Mr. Calvin Echodu, has completely swept the District Chairperson elections leaving Mukula’s team without even a single delegate in Soroti. This stunning result has not only shaken Mukula’s camp but has also energized Calvin Echodu’s growing support base across Eastern Uganda.
For weeks, Mukula’s team confidently bragged that any delegate backing Calvin Echodu would be crushed in the district elections. They painted a picture of dominance, mocking the New Energy movement and claiming that Soroti would never turn its back on Mukula. But the results have spoken louder than any words. Not one of Mukula’s delegates made it through. Not one.
This isn’t just a win for Team New Energy, it’s a statement. Soroti City has spoken loud and clear: they are ready for new leadership, fresh ideas, and genuine energy. Mukula’s political grip on Soroti has slipped, and the people have turned the page.
With these delegates set to vote in the upcoming race for the NRM Vice Chairperson Eastern Uganda, the tables have turned. Calvin Echodu is entering that contest with powerful momentum, while Mukula faces serious questions about the crumbling support around him.
This crushing defeat sends a strong message across the region, the New Energy wave is real, and it’s rising fast. Mukula’s time as the uncontested force in Eastern Uganda politics may be coming to an end.
