Kampala: The latest provisional results from our sources at NRM Electoral Commission the tallying centre of votes of the elections of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) members, indicate that Northern region’s Jacob Oulanya, Western region’s Chris Baryomunsi, Sanjay Tanna from the East are still on top of their opponents.
Ms Namuganza had out of the blue decided to take on Ms Kadaga and in her campaigns preached that NRM should only vote for candidates who are loyal to the party adding that people with positions in government hold them on behalf of the party and therefore, it would be self-serving to use them to attack the party.
She accused Kadaga of entertaining a motion that condemned president Museveni in relation to the shillings 20 million that parliament gave to each MP in response to the outbreak of COVID-19.
But it seems all the above didn’t deter Ms Kadaga who kept on pushing her campaigns with the slogan “if it was not me, Museveni would not be on the 2021 presidential election ballot paper” and as we report now, she has taken a comfortable lead wining most of the regions and districts including Lyantonde, Kanungu, Yumbe, Kabale, Kasese, Kamwenge and her home district of Kamuli.
In the other positions being competed for, Deputy Speaker Jacob Oulanyah is comfortably leading incumbent Sam Engola for the position of the Vice Chairman, North while businessman Sanjay Tanna looks set to sweep the Vice Chairman for Eastern after brushing off incumbent Mike Mukula, winning most of the districts in East, Central and North.
Here are some of the preliminary results in the NRM CEC elections in different regions and districts.
