Kasibule concludes term this month
The Uganda Veterinary Association will elect a new President November 29th at the conclusion of their week long Farmers exhibition, symposium and Annual General Meeting in Mbarara. The UVA limits the term of a President to two terms.
Dr Daniel Kasibule from Mpigi, first elected in 2021, will hand over to one of six contestants.
General Secretary Dr Boniface Obbo has opted not continue despite being eligible. He said he will be committed to other engagements in the next few years, but, is also giving opportunities for other veterinarians to serve.
