Former Member of Parliament for Teso South Constituency Mary Emaase has announced her intention to vie for the Member of Parliament seat in the upcoming general elections.
Speaking to the press in Busia town, Emaase stated that she aims to complete the stalled projects she initiated in 2013.
She emphasized that she will leave the Woman Representative post to new female entrants, as the position was created through affirmative action to increase female representation in parliament.
Emaase, affiliated with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party, revealed that the party has developed a blueprint for development projects in all seven Sub-Counties of Busia.
She also urged residents to collect their National Identity Cards in preparation for the August 22 general elections, assuring that ballot boxes will be protected and voter bribery will not occur.
Both current Teso South MP Geoffrey Omuse and Governor Sospeter Ojaamong have expressed interest in the same post, with Emaase having previously served as the area MP for one term before losing to Omuse.
