Nebbi, Uganda | July 18, 2025 — In a sweeping political triumph that has electrified West Nile, Phiona Nyamutoro has won the Nebbi Woman Member of Parliament seat in the just-concluded NRM primaries with a record-breaking margin—marking a new era in the district’s political landscape.

The youthful and charismatic Nyamutoro took to her official X handle (formerly Twitter) shortly after her resounding victory to share the jubilant news with her supporters and well-wishers.

“We made history with the highest number of votes ever registered by any candidate in the history of Nebbi politics!” she wrote. “We shall work tirelessly to ensure your trust yields fruits. Grateful to everyone for all the overwhelming love and support. Lero Pa Nebbi. ZIM ZIM!”

Her message reverberated across the district and beyond, capturing the sheer emotion and scale of the moment. “Lero Pa Nebbi” — loosely translated as Today belongs to Nebbi — and her rallying chant ZIM ZIM, have now become powerful slogans echoing through communities, boda stages, and radio airwaves in celebration.
