President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the National Chairman of the National Resistance Movement (NRM), has today arrived at Rwakitura cell, Nshwerenkye parish in Kiruhura district. His visit marks the official start of a major NRM activity—the verification of the party register and the election of LC1 flag bearers and village structures.
This event is part of a countrywide effort taking place in over 72,000 polling stations across Uganda. At the village Baraza in Rwakitura, President Museveni is overseeing the process to ensure accuracy and transparency in updating the party members’ register. The verification will help identify genuine members and strengthen internal democracy within the ruling party.
Alongside this, voting is also taking place to elect the NRM LC1 flag bearers, who will represent the party at the village level. These leaders form the foundation of the party’s structure and play a key role in mobilizing support and maintaining party unity at the grassroots.
Present at the event are several high-profile figures, including the Chairman of the NRM Electoral Commission, Dr. Tanga Odoi, and area Members of Parliament. Their presence underscores the importance the party places on strong leadership at all levels.
This exercise is not only about selecting leaders but also about deepening party engagement and encouraging more active participation among NRM supporters. As the party prepares for upcoming primaries and national elections, today’s activities serve as a reminder that every vote and every member counts.
With President Museveni leading from the front, the NRM hopes to build an even stronger and more organized party right from the village level upward.
