One of the NRM contestants for Rubaga Mayoral seat Wilson Kabugo
has rejected the results from the party primaries.
Kabugo lost to Mahad Kawesa who polled 12,172 against Kabugo’s
2,968 votes.
Kawesa was declared the winner by the NRM district registrar for Rubaga Robert
Kato prompting Kabugo to openly protest the results.
Kabugo argued that the party leadership together with Kato’s
agents in Rubaga are fond of manipulating results. He says that he intends to
run as an independent.
//Cue in: “We have got a problem with…
Cue out: “…the network at the top. //
However, Kawesa refutes the allegations. He says that Kabugo spent
most of his time since the 2016 elections battling court cases, hence lacking
time to mobilize voters.
//Cue in: “Oyo omusajja abadde musibe…
Cue out: "...wennyini namuwanguddewo.//
The NRM Party Chairperson for Rubaga District Abdullah Kitatta said that
election was peaceful on average, but the few irregularities were unavoidable.
He urged Kabugo and others who lost, to accept defeat for the good of the NRM party.
