In Kampala—

The independent presidential candidate Lt. Gen. Tumukunde has told Ugandans today morning that no presidential candidate will raise mandatory 51% in order to be declared a winner.

Tumukunde made this revelation during an exclusive interview with NBS Tv’s morning breeze show.

The interview included two other presidential candidates; independent Joseph Kabuleta and NRM’s director for communications Hon. Emmanuel Dbombo.

Tumukunde asserted that according to the experience he has in Uganda’s elections, this time president Museveni will not raise mandatory 51%.

He added that most of the candidates like Robert Kyagulanyi, Amuriat are stronger which will make it difficult for Museveni to get the required percentage.

He noted that since no one will raise 51%, he will rally behind whoever gets the highest percentage.

In Bushenyi—

Following a video that has been circulating on social media where the Bushenyi district NRM Chairman Hassan Bassajjabalaba is heard saying that people should not vote the NRM flag bearer Annet Katusiime Mugisha, Leaders have come out to speak their mind.

Annet Katusiime Mugisha is in the race for woman Member of Parliament with Federica Nshemereirwe of FDC and Independent candidate Madina Lukwago Atuhaire.

Bassajabalaba’s comments have been received with mixed reactions from the NRM community who have accused him of supporting an independent candidate.

Willis Bashasha the director of NRM manifesto implementation said that it’s not good for a district NRM chairman to make such a contradicting statement as Ugandans count days to the polling date.

He added that he is rest assured that the people of Bushenyi will disappoint Hassan with his interests of supporting an independent candidate come 14^th Jan.2021; they will rally behind Annet Katusiime Mugisha.

The Bushenyi Ishaka municipality incumbent MP Gordon Arinda Cowboy told www.mknewslink.com that Bassajabalaba just wanted to satisfy his own ego and interests.

In Bushenyi—

The Bishop of West Ankole diocese Rt. Rev. Johnson Twinomujuni has warned church leaders against taking bribes from Christians in exchange for favors.

Bishop Johnson made the remarks yesterday at St. Paul Bweranyangyi Cathedral during the ordination of 4 Reverends and 5 deacons.

He added that some people who want to become church leaders like reverends first bribe top church authorities which has brought infiltrations into the church and incompetent servants of God.

He also warned Christians to stop pressurizing the diocese to install new leaders such as Canons adding that West Ankole Diocese has enough canons and does not need more.

Bishop Johnson however hailed Christians for accepting God’s servants sent to their churches unlike in the past where they rejected Reverends and other priests assigned to their churches.
