Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The NRM Party has canceled joint rallies for the nominated candidates vying to hold the party flag in the forthcoming Hoima District LCV Chairperson by-election.<\/p>\n

Dr Tanga Odoi, the NRM Party Electoral Commission Chairperson communicated the decision during a meeting with various stakeholders in Hoima City. This comes after some of the nominated candidates raised concern that some candidates were boycotting joint rallies.<\/p>\n

NRM Party primary election is scheduled for Friday, August 25, 2023 while the general election will take place on September 14.<\/p>\n

On August 7, six candidates boycotted the party’s joint campaigns in Kyabigambire Sub-County citing incidents of violence, intimidation by supporters of particular candidates, voter bribery, and the transportation of individuals from other areas.<\/p>\n

Dr Tanga stated that the campaign schedule, previously outlined, will be restructured.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach candidate will be allowed to campaign independently in the remaining sub-counties. This approach aims to prevent clashes, and the district security committee need to ensure the security of every candidate during their campaign activities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Michael Kyakashari, the Hoima Deputy Resident District Commissioner, assured all candidates of security for uninterrupted campaigns.<\/p>\n

The seven candidates competing for the NRM LCV party flag include Mr Uthuman Mugisha Mubarak, son of the late Kirungi Kadiri, the former Hoima Chairman who passed away in a road accident. Other candidates are Mr Vincent Savanna Muhumuza, Mr Jackson Mugenyi Mulindambula, Mr John Kwemara, Mr Samuel Kyakadongo, Mr Moses Mutagwa, and Mr Yunus Mugabe.<\/p>\n

Dr Fred Kabagambe Kaliisa, the Senior Presidential Advisor on Oil and Gas, urged Hoima residents to maintain peace during this by-election period.<\/p>\n

The seat became vacant after the former District Chairperson, Kadir Kirungi, died in a motor accident in March this year.<\/p>\n

Kirungi, 47, was killed in a road accident along the Hoima-Kampala Road. The incident occurred on Friday, March 17, 2023, at around 10 pm in Kateera village, Kiboga district.<\/p>\n

Kadir and his bodyguard, Police Constable Bosco Otim, 25, from Hoima Central Police Station, were driving a Prado with registration number UAH 053Q, going to Kampala.<\/p>\n

Their vehicle collided with a Fuso truck bearing registration number UBB 059Z, which was transporting bricks. The accident resulted in Kirungi’s death during his second term in office.<\/p>\n
