The NRM vice chairman for the Central regional, Godfrey Kiwanda Suubu is optimistic that the ruling party will reclaim its support in Busoga by 2026.
Kiwanda observes that what is only required of Uganda’s longest ruling party is for its members to set aside internal bickering.
infighting costed the party several political seats in 2021 general elections in Buganda. The party has since looked for the possible ways of bringing back home whoever had been lured by the oppoaition, especially NUP.
“We lost some parliamentary and district seats in the 2021 polls due to selfish interests by some of our own people who campaigned against the party’s flag bearers and ‘donated’ our support.”
“This is what we must put right and the struggle begins now”, Kiwanda added.
The CEC Member made the remarks while addressing party leaders of Greater Masaka sub region at Royal Gardens in Masaka City, Sunday afternoon. They included DEC members and sub county NRM chairpersons.
He was in company of the Deputy Secretary General Hon Rose Namayanja Nsereko, the Director in charge of Mobilisation Hon Rosemary Seninde and the Party’s Senior Communications Manager Rogers Mulindwa. The participants included members of the District Executive Committees, the Sub County NRM chairpersons, RDCs, Administrative Secretaries and Registrars from all the ten districts that constitute the sub region.
Kiwanda urged party leaders to keep in touch with their electorates and convene routine meetings.
“It’s important that you talk to your people with facts and such clear messages will keep our electorates closer to their party.
