The clan head (Awitong) of Pedi Wibye acel Willy Omodo Omodo Kagere has been elected as the new interim speaker (Won Tok) of the council of Owitong of Lango Cultural Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omodo was elected Friday afternoon at a consultative meeting which turned into a council meeting attended by more than 100 Owitong at Magaritha Palace Hotel, Lira City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the election Omodo polled 65 votes against his main challenger Isaac Opio Opeo who garnered 24 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
