Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The FDC Najjanakumbi faction on Thursday convened yet another internal election, this time it was the Youth and Women elections which attracted delegates from across the region of the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

The participants were the recently elected District Women and Youths\u2019 leaders who were expected to elect the new National district FDC Youths and Women leaders.<\/p>\n

Just like the recent National Executive Committee member\u2019s elections, the Youth and Women elections again turned rowdy with some candidates getting locked out of the race leading to some delegates from northern Uganda boycotting the exercise in protest.<\/p>\n

The disgruntled aspirant one Okori Brian attacked the party chairman electoral commission Tuterebuka Bamwenda upon realizing he was dropped in the race for the National youth chairperson a position he was earlier duly nominated for.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow could you denominate me; we are going to drag you to court to declare this entire election illegal. As young people, we have sacrificed for this party and we can\u2019t allow you to kill the party. The party is dying\u201d, Okoro bitterly reacted.<\/p>\n

The chairman electoral commission Tuterebuks Bamwenda who maintained his position to have Okori Brian\u2019s candidature disqualified.<\/p>\n

He rudely responded: \u201can issue was raised here that he doesn\u2019t qualify, not every member of the youth can come here and vote, the process is very clear chairperson, vice person are the ones that constitute the electoral college\u201d.<\/p>\n

With the tough talking and the rowdiness caused by Okori and his supporters, the election venue turned rowdy leading to the FDC electoral commission to temporarily halt the process to allow calm to be restored.<\/p>\n

Okori was later thrown out of the venue, as elections resumed but his supporters reacted by equally walking out and boycotting the exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t be part of an illegality; we have boycotted,\u201d they bitterly stated.<\/p>\n

The elections later resumed to elect the national chairperson FDC youth, vice chairperson FDC youth, chairperson FDC women league, vice chairperson FDC women league, secretary general and others.<\/p>\n
