Amuria District — As the National Resistance Movement (NRM) party primaries approach, Margie Etilu has emerged as a formidable candidate for the Woman Member of Parliament position in Amuria District. Her candidacy has generated significant enthusiasm among voters who see in her a promise of change and development.

Known for her calm demeanor yet resolute advocacy, Etilu has steadily gained attention as a candidate with a clear and focused vision. In her campaign manifesto, she acknowledges the contributions of previous leaders while emphasizing the urgent need for accelerated development across the district.

Etilu’s development agenda prioritizes critical sectors such as infrastructure, health, education, youth empowerment, agriculture, and economic transformation. She promises to advocate for improved road networks, which she believes are essential to connecting communities and fostering socio-economic growth.

Health services, Etilu notes, remain underdeveloped in many parts of Amuria. Drawing on her experience in local government, she pledges to work closely with government health departments to ensure that the district’s health facilities receive the necessary resources and attention to meet the population’s needs.

Education is another key pillar in Etilu’s platform. While she supports recognizing top-performing students, she stresses the importance of comprehensive support for all learners to enhance overall educational outcomes. She believes addressing systemic gaps will lead to improved academic performance and long-term community benefits.

Youth empowerment also features prominently in her plans. Etilu advocates for expanded skills training programs and start-up support to enable young people to build sustainable livelihoods and reduce unemployment in the district.

Recognizing agriculture as the backbone of many families in Amuria, she is committed to supporting farmers, particularly by promoting alternative projects during the dry season to sustain income and food security.

Local residents and community leaders who have engaged with Etilu express confidence in her ability to bring tangible change. Many view her as a people-centered leader with the experience and determination to address the district’s challenges.

With several candidates set to compete in the NRM party primaries on July 17th, the race is expected to be competitive. However, Margie Etilu’s clear development agenda and her growing support base position her as a strong contender for the Woman MP flag.

As the campaign intensifies, voters in Amuria appear inspired by Etilu’s message of hope and practical solutions, eager for leadership that can deliver meaningful progress for the district.
