"I’m Still Alive and Ready to Lead" – Gen. Moses Ali Stuns Voters in Surprise Comeback

Gen. Moses Ali (Rtd), Member of Parliament for Adjumani West County, thrilled voters this evening during a surprise visit to Mokolo East village, Lajopi Parish, Adropi Sub-county. The visit sparked excitement among residents who gathered to hear his message.

Speaking to the crowd, Gen. Ali declared that his visit was to prove he is still alive and politically active. He emphasized his intention to seek re-election and urged the voters to support him as they always have.

He assured residents that if re-elected, he would prioritize their needs, including improving local roads, schools, and access to essential services. His promises were met with applause and cheers from the villagers.

Gen. Ali's appearance comes amid speculation about his political future, given his advanced age and reduced public appearances in recent years. His bold statement silenced rumors of his retirement or ill health.

The retired general is a significant figure in Ugandan politics, once a rebel leader before joining President Museveni’s government. His long-standing presence continues to influence the political landscape in Adjumani.

Notably, Gen. Ali and President Museveni once struck a deal stating that the former should never be retired from government until death, as part of a peace agreement to prevent future rebellion.

This historical agreement underscores Gen. Ali’s unique position within Uganda’s leadership and explains his enduring presence in public affairs despite retirement age limits.

Voters in Mokolo East appeared deeply moved by his message, with many pledging continued support. His visit was both symbolic and strategic, reviving his connection with grassroots supporters
