In Sheema
The incumbent MP for Sheema municipality who is also the NRM district chairman Minister Elioda Tumwesigye has finally revealed why he decided to stand as an independent candidate.
Dr. Elioda was humiliated by Dickson Kateshumbwa the Former URA boss in the last NRM primaries.
He was yesterday morning nominated to again face his main rival Dickson Kateshumbwa come 2021 general elections.
According to him, the last NRM primaries were disorderly and unfair since even those not legible to voting were allowed to participate.
He added that even after petitioning the NRM tribunal it was also not fair on his side, therefore he had to come to the final judges (voters) for final decision.
“People had started buying other parties’ tickets because am out of race, but because I still love NRM,I had to come back and also bring them back, I want to clear the air, am an NRM supporter, though I have come independent because of the reasons I highlighted before,” minister Elioda.
On the other hand Prof. Elijah Mushemeza an NRM diehard from Sheema south who was also nominated on an independent ticket to contest against Ephraim Kamuntu of NRM claims that he has worked with the NRM tribunal for years, bringing justice to other people but it’s quite funny that he was not given justice.
“It’s also quite funny for an NRM chairman to come on an independent ticket just because he was defeated, nevertheless I advise people to vote for NRM flag bearers not independent because it’s not a party,”Kamuntu.
