A political novice so to speak, Sharif Amin said that she was going to learn on the  job and was ready for her opponents in the 2021 general elections  because \u201c I have been blessed by God and the people liked me naturally . \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c I didn\u2019t have the money yet my opponents used a lot of it . But the people of Koboko- young and old voted for me ,\u201d She explained  vowing to work for unity among  the leaders in the district to champion the causes that are of great interest to the people especially the jobless youth .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
