Acholi Politicians Take Advantage of Covid19 Campaign to Popularise Candidature

Robert Larubi, who is eyeing Toci County parliamentary seat in Omoro District as an Independent crafted his message with an Indian-English accent to catch the attention of voters.

The controversy stems from the distribution of relief supplies which include maize flour, Rice and beans totalling to two tons that were obtained from the Office of the Prime Minister, to benefit residents affected by floods when heavy rains hit different parts of Masaka district last month.

In a statement issued by Mildred Tibananuka’ the Kyambogo University Dean of students on Wednesday, the elections will be held when the school resumes operations in a month.

James Kiriti, a resident of Kigorobya Sub county, says denying them a chance to register as NRM party members is a big mistake that could deny them chance to elect leaders of their choice.

Paul Mukungu, the Luweero Town Council LC 3 Chairperson, says the exercise has been marred with irregularities, which include the failure by Electoral Commission to process appointment letters for tribunal members.

In his letter to students, Prof Katunguka, says on March 11th, 2020, the Dean of Students wrote to the candidates communicating the position of management on the use of political party or pressure group symbols on the ballot papers. ”It has come to my attention that some aspiring candidates have refused to abide by the management directives,” he said.

Muntu says that he intends to recruit at least ten people per village to ensure he has a formidable group, which would challenge Museveni.
