Uganda Today: Hon. Isaac Orego Triumphs in NRM Primaries for Soroti City East Constituency

Hon. Isaac Orego has emerged the victor in the hotly contested NRM primaries for Soroti City East Constituency, beating four other contenders to clinch the party flag ahead of the 2026 general elections. Orego garnered an impressive 44% of the total vote cast, solidifying his position as a frontrunner in the region’s dynamic political terrain.

His opponents—Adakun Simon Richard, Egunyu Moses, Eraju James Herbert Yoweri, and Okwii John Ekutelek—mounted spirited campaigns, each hoping to capture the political heart of the young city. But it was Orego’s message of progressive leadership and his early engagement with the electorate that evidently swayed the majority.

A Victory Long in the Making

This triumph marks a defining moment not only for Orego but also for Uganda Today, which six months ago broke the ground-shaking story titled “A New Dawn for Soroti East” (read here). In that story, Uganda Today spotlighted Orego’s emergence as a political force, articulating his bold vision and grassroots mobilization strategy that has now translated into electoral success.

At the time, many dismissed the piece as overly optimistic. Today, however, that foresight has been vindicated.

“It is not just a win for me—it is a win for all Soroti East residents who believed in change and inclusiveness. I thank Uganda Today for seeing this dream before many could,” Orego said in a post-election interview.

The Numbers Behind the Win

According to preliminary figures released by the NRM Electoral Commission, Orego secured 44% of the total vote of 7194, with his closest rival trailing by more than 10 percentage points. This commanding lead underscores his deep-rooted connection with constituents, particularly the youth and business communities that formed the backbone of his campaign.

Orego’s win also marks yet another chapter in the credibility of www.ugandatoday.co.ug as a platform for serious political journalism and strategic election coverage. The site continues to prove effective in amplifying political causes, giving early visibility to candidates who later make headlines.

For both readers and aspiring politicians, Uganda Today offers not just analysis but impact.

“Uganda Today didn’t just report the story—it shaped the narrative. Their early spotlight on Hon. Orego undoubtedly boosted his legitimacy and reach,” remarked a political analyst based in Teso sub-region.

As Uganda edges closer to the 2026 elections, such journalistic interventions—backed by thorough reporting and grassroots resonance—will likely shape the electoral map more than ever before.
