A number of voters say that their names were deleted from the NRM registers although they are in possession of party cards. They accuse party registrars of deliberately deleting members particulars to stifle support for particular candidates seeking the party ticket for the two political seats.
The Forum for Democratic Change FDC Secretary General, Nathan Nandala Mafabi, says he will thwart any attempts to skew party presidential elections in favour of any of the candidates in the race. FDC president Mugisha Muntu, who defeated Nandala in the 2012 elections, is the race to retain the top seat of Ugandas biggest opposition party. He faces competition from four other candidates who include former Kumi County Member of Parliament Patrick Oboi Amuriat.
The FDC Electoral Commission Chairperson Dan Mugarura says Lukubira called saying he had encountered difficulty. In total, five candidates have been nominated to contest for the seat.
