With the 2021 election campaigns set to be conducted via media platforms, supporters of president Yoweri Museveni under their umbrella Museveni Supporters Association have today launched an app to help the incumbent leader in conducting the “scientific” campaigns.
Codenamed MY SEVO, the mobile application which is the first of its kind in the whole world, targets over 10 million smartphone users in Uganda and hundreds of millions all over the world who are interested in following the NRM presidential Candidate’s campaign.
It’s a self-contained scientific campaign tool in the palm of everyone. From H.E Yoweri Museveni’s biography, to initiatives, achievements, NRM manifestos, funny moments, NRM flag bearers and well-wishers, we have put everything at every one’s disposal.” Said Ian Gumisiriza Jeremiah, the Chairman of the association during the launch of the app held in Kampala today.
He added “Every body has been talking about scientific campaigns, we have defined what scientific campaigns are”.
The initiative comes at a time when the masses and politicians have been flouting ministry of health SOPs such as social distancing and mandatory wearing of masks due to limited specific scientific tools for campaigning.
“Its an exciting project. Knowing that we are the 1st in the whole world to have such an application is mind-blowing. Not even most powerful presidents in the whole world such as United States’ Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin of Russia have a dedicated mobile application. We are the world leaders in this field and every one will copy from us.” says Isma King Kong, the association’s Senior Media Strategist.
Prossy Marunga, the product’s Managerof the Association says over a period of four months, they will be giving thousands of prizes to people who download the application.
“The prizes include T-shirts, jumpers, shoes, caps, free data and many other surprise prizes and many other prizes are to be won. We shall also give out 1,000,000 solar lights to rural homes.” she noted
Marunga encouraged everyone especially the “bazukulu to download the app from Google PlayStore or AppStore.
