UPDATE: Oulanyah in flying start, Namuganza, Baryomunsi and Tanna surprise

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Provisional results  from voting in the elections of the Central Executive Committee (CEC)members of the NRM party indicate Northern Region’s Jacob Oulanya, western region’s Chris Baryomunsi, Sanjay Tanna from the east, and Persis Namuganza vying to replace Rebecca Kadaga, have had flying starts.

All results are provisional, until announced by President Yoweri Museveni at State House at 8pm today.

In her campaigns, Persis Namuganza, the only candidate challenging Speaker Rebecca Kadaga for the position of second national vice-chairman said NRM should only vote for candidates who are loyal to the party. Namuganza said all 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.
