Historic Profile of Hon. Angwech Colline Elected as Kyoga Constituency MP on UPC Ticket.
AMOLATAR, UGANDA: January 21, 2026: In a landmark victory that has energized communities across Kyoga Constituency, Hon. Angwech Colline has been elected as the new Member of Parliament in the January 15, 2026 general elections. Running under the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) party flag, Colline emerged triumphant in a fiercely contested race, marking a new chapter of hope, accountability, and grassroots-driven development for the people of Kyoga.
Her win, celebrated with song, dance, and jubilant procession through the streets of Amolatar Town, reflects a growing demand for leaders with both national vision and deep community roots. As a long-time advocate for education, healthcare, and youth empowerment, Colline’s election is being hailed as a victory for transformative leadership rooted in integrity and service.
“Today is not just my victory — it is the victory of every mother who walks miles to access health care, every child who studies under a dim bulb, every fisherfolk whose voice has been ignored,” said Hon. Colline in her victory speech at Kyoga Central Grounds. “I promise to be your voice in Parliament, your watchdog on accountability, and your partner in progress.”
Angwec had a Legacy of Service Before Office:
Long before stepping into the political arena, Angwech Colline had already carved a remarkable path as a development champion and humanitarian leader. As Country Director for Hope for Humans, she led life-changing interventions for children affected by nodding syndrome in Northern Uganda, ensuring access to medical care, education, and nutrition. Her compassionate leadership brought relief to thousands of families devastated by the disease.
She is also the co-founder of Far Away Friends, an NGO dedicated to youth empowerment through education, mentorship, and cross-cultural exchange. Her work with Invisible Children amplified the voices of survivors of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) war, taking Uganda’s story of resilience to international platforms, including a powerful TEDx talk in New York.
Colline’s commitment to education is perhaps most vividly seen in the founding of Global Leaders Primary School in Amolatar — a model institution that has provided quality education to over 500 children. Notably, the school achieved a 100% pass rate in its very first sitting of the Primary Leaving Examinations, setting a new standard for academic excellence in the region.
Beyond the classroom, her impact has extended to infrastructure and health. She led partnerships that brought solar power to rural health centers, constructed sanitation facilities in schools, and initiated a sustainable pad-making project at Namasale Technical School — a move that has improved girls’ school attendance and dignity. Thousands of sanitary pads and mama kits have been distributed to expectant mothers, while mattresses and medical supplies have reached understaffed clinics.
A People-First Parliamentary Agenda:
As Kyoga’s newly elected MP, Hon. Colline has outlined a six-pillar agenda focused on inclusive, transparent, and development-oriented governance:
Constituency Representation: She pledges to be the unwavering voice of Kyoga in Parliament, particularly advocating for resolution of long-standing issues in the fishing industry — a lifeline for thousands along Lake Kyoga.
Accountability & Anti-Corruption: Committed to transparency, she vows to monitor government spending and policy implementation, ensuring that public resources benefit citizens, not cartels.
Budget Advocacy: In her role on the Parliamentary Budget Committee, she will push for equitable allocation of funds to improve roads, schools, and health facilities — with a special focus on rural connectivity.
Community-Driven Development: She will strengthen partnerships with local leaders, NGOs, and the private sector to scale up projects in education, health, and sustainable livelihoods.
Policy Advocacy: A strong proponent of agribusiness and market access, she plans to champion policies that uplift smallholder farmers, fisherfolk, and women-led enterprises.
Legislative Innovation: Colline intends to introduce and support laws that promote gender equity, environmental sustainability, and economic justice.
The Uganda People’s Congress (UPC), which has seen a resurgence in recent years, celebrated Colline’s election as a testament to the party’s revitalized vision for decentralized development and social justice.
“Hon. Angwech Colline embodies the true spirit of UPC — people-centered, principled, and progressive,” said UPC President, Jimmy Akena. “Her victory is not just a win for Kyoga, but a beacon of hope for all marginalized communities demanding real change.”
A New Era for Kyoga county:
Political analysts say Colline’s victory reflects a shifting tide in Ugandan politics — where voters are increasingly rewarding proven impact over empty promises. With a strong track record in project management, international development, and community mobilization, she is well-positioned to bridge the gap between grassroots needs and national policy.
As she prepares to take her seat in the 12th Parliament , Hon. Angwech Colline stands not only as Kyoga’s representative but as a symbol of what is possible when compassion, competence, and courage converge in leadership.
Her message remains clear: “Development is not a gift — it is a right. And I will fight for Kyoga until every child, woman, and youth has the opportunity to thrive.”
