However some of the announced coordinators have distanced themselves from the People Power Movement. Jie County MP Adome, who, was announced as the team leader of coordinators for Karamjoa region, reached out to MS News to distance himself from the role. Adome who belongs to the ruling National Resistance Movement said that People Power must have assumed that whoever voted against the age limit amendment in 2017, automatically belongs to their movement.
“Looking at the list, it’s surely a presumption by the people power group that whoever voted against the age limit is for them. This is not true to some of us.” said Adome.
“Whereas it’s also my right to belong to any political party, it is also my right to be protected from circumstances that may be of jeopardy to my roles as a member of parliament from NRM. I will request to know what exactly the People Power stands for, what they would wish me to do and how they expect me to do and how possibly it may be of help to the people I lead. Short of the above, I won’t be fooled to accept what I don’t see light in.” he wrote on his Facebook page.
