With just days to the ruling National Resistance Movement party primaries, aspirants in Kibuku district are threatening to pull out of the race, claiming the voter’s register has been tampered with.
Some contestants are accusing the Kibuku party registrar of masterminding the move with intent to favor some candidates.
The aspirants are now asking the Electoral Commission to intervene in the matter.
However the secretariat distanced its self from the claims insisting that the allegations are unfounded.
Days back, party treasurer said that the National Resistance Movement has for long had the support of most of the young people and dominates leadership from village to national level.
She noted that the recent elections were not optional as the ruling party NRM massively won the ground-level polls by a landslide.
“Apart from NRM that swept all regions of Uganda, what remained in different regions was won by NRM-leaning independents and other political parties with none having a nationwide haul apart from NRM and NRM leaning independents.” Rose Namayanja noted.
This has very direct and far-reaching political implications in the forthcoming elections and the general political landscape of our motherland since it was targeting the most populated voters’ category and one of the highly enthusiastic population categories.
