THE PETITIONER AYAKA ROSE 🆚 DRIWARU JENIFER (THE RESPONDENT). READ THE PETITION HERE.

THE CHAIRMAN NRM ELECTORAL COMMISSION, KYADONDO ROAD KAMPALA.

09-09-2020.

Sir,

RE: PETITION AGAINST THE ELECTION RESULTS OF THE NATIONAL RESISTANCE MOVEMENT PRIMARIES FOR WOMAN MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT MARACHA DISTRICT.

The NRM primary elections for the Member of Parliament in Maracha district on 4-September-2020 and the results compiled and declared at the district headquarters on 5-September-2020.

The elections were characterised by numerous irregularities.

The directives of the National Party Chairman's instructions were not followed as was in his communication dated 2-September-2020 and addressed to all the NRM village executive committee.

The opposition party supporters of National Unity Platform (NUP) Party and Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) were bribed and mobilised to line behind my opponent across the district.

The results tallied were therefor not that of NRM supporters.

There were also cases of intimidation, violence where some of my polling Agents were beaten, ferrying of Voters from other places, obstruction from voting, multiple voting and failure to follow the election guidlines provided by the NRM.

I wrote the attached letter to the District Registrar to request for the official tally sheet of the Member of Parliament results, the List of polling officials, the village, parish and sub-county Registrars since some of the officials were Agents of my opponent and they were seen decampaigning me.

I further requested for the record of the total number of registered NRM members per village in the district before 2-September-2020 since these are public documents and they can be used for further analysis of how the elections were concluded.

Note that, my Agents at the tally center did not sign the declaration of result forms also note that, the District Registrar has until now declined to give me the information i requested from his office.

I reject the results of the NRM Parliamentary elections and request that they be disregarded by the party and an appropriate decision taken to resolve the matter.

Thank you for your usual cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

AYAKA ROSE ATIMA / WOMAN MP MARACHA DISTRICT.

CC. SECRETARY GENERAL NRM PARTY.

CC. THE RDC, MARACHA DISTRICT.

CC. THE DPC MARACHA DISTRICT.

CC. THE NRM DISTRICT CHAIRMAN.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Parliament Urges Government to Provide Shs 4 Billion to Media Houses to Run Awareness Campaign on Tourism in Uganda.

Parliament also urged Gov’t to provide additional Shs4Bn to UTB to engage international and national media houses in production of positive media stories for improved destination image, following reports of drop in number of tourists from US, Europe and China visiting Uganda. "The National Development Plan targeted to cumulatively attract 281,760 International Tourist arrivals from US, Europe & China but only 67,252 arrivals were registered by the end of the first half of FY 2023/24. The U.S, Europe & China were key target source for leisure tourist who stay longer than business tourists. However, statistics show that international arrivals from the aforementioned areas have continue to drop. The UTB requires Shs4Bn to engage international & national media houses in production of positive tourism stories to improve destination perception in light of recent controversies that shade the destination in a bad light. However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
