Minister Elioda Tumwesigye has successfully been nominated to contest in the NRM primaries for Sheema Municipality parliamentary seat.
Dr. Tumwesigye’s nomination was challenged by lawyers led by David Kamukama who is also contesting for the same seat but a meeting held at Kyadondo NRM headquarters resolved that Elioda should be nominated.
Kamukama however told www.mknewslink.com editor that he is not satisfied with the decision and confirmed that he will challenge the nomination in courts of law.
Efforts to talk to Minister Elioda were futile as he couldn’t pick our calls.
