In Paliisa District, in Gogonyo County another NRM candidate Derrick Orone was declared the winner by Pallisa district returning officer Daniel Othieno\u00a0with a total of\u00a0\u00a019,000\u00a0votes.<\/p>\n

National Unity Platform candidate Joseph\u00a0Okoboi Opolot\u00a0came second in a two-man race with\u00a0519 votes.<\/p>\n
