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.
