On Tuesday, the NUP Election Management Committee headed by Mercy Walukamba ranked Nalukoola the highest among the 10 candidates who have been seeking the party endorsement to stand for the by-election slated for next month.
Nalukoola, who was the Legal Advisor for the Democratic Party (DP) since 2020, resigned from his position following the controversial cooperation agreement between the DP and the National Resistance Movement (NRM).
Speaking at the launch of the report titled Reviewing the Form and Substance of the 2021 Elections by the Julius Nyerere Leadership Center and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung at Makerere University, Dr. Nansozi Muwanga, the Executive Director, stated that a large portion of Ugandans, particularly in villages, do not understand the significance of voting.
