Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The NRM party leadership says they shall have an automatic tally application at their centre through which they will receive results from all the district.<\/p>\n

The National Resistance Movement (NRM) has announced it will set up its own tally centre for the election results on January 14, parallel to the Electoral Commission national tally centre.<\/p>\n

Mr Saleh Kamba, the NRM head of political intelligence at the office of the national chairperson (ONC), said the party will have its own tally centre in Kampala to coordinate and collect results of their presidential candidate after the polls.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we shall have an automatic tally application provided by the national chairman\u2019s tally centre through which the results stated on the official declaration form at the district level will be sent,\u201d Mr Kamba said yesterday at the launch of the NRM voter protection teams in Kampala.<\/p>\n

Mr Kamba said the tally centre will be in Kampala and it will be manned by political and IT experts to ensure the results are swiftly tallied.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the Electoral Commission receives results from the districts, for us we expect the agents to have informed us of what happened at the polling station in advance to help counter if there is a problem at the district because if the results which reached the district are different from what we received directly from the polling stations, then we shall be able to verify and counter,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn most cases we are going to be online. We are going to supply an application because that is the reason why at recruitment of vote protectors, we emphasized the issue of having a smart phone. Things are now swift, once that person accesses network, we shall be able to coordinate with that person, live from here [Kampala],\u201d Mr Kamba said.<\/p>\n

The launch was attended by security officers and party officials who included the UPDF chief political commissar Brig Gen Henry Matsiko, deputy director of Internal Security Organisation (ISO) Maj Emmy Katabazi, NRM\u2019s first vice chairperson Moses Kigongo and senior presidential adviser on political affairs Milly Babalanda.<\/p>\n

The party officials revealed that each polling station will be manned by a minimum of two polling agents who will only be deployed after they have been fully screened and cleared by the NRM district security committee.<\/p>\n

EC responds<\/b><\/p>\n

The Electoral Commission spokesperson, Mr Paul Bukenya, said political parties are allowed to monitor and track results of their presidential candidates but are barred from announcing the winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cA political party is allowed to have their agents at polling stations to keep track of their candidate\u2019s results. In doing so, they can even obtain a copy of the declaration of results forms at a place they may choose. So I believe they [NRM] could be doing so in that line,\u201d Mr Bukenya said.<\/p>\n

He, however, insisted that this can only be done on condition that the political parties don\u2019t announce the results of their candidates since it is only the EC allowed to officially announce the results of presidential candidates.<\/p>\n

In February 2016, police arrested Forum for Democratic Change presidential candidate Kizza Besigye, party president Maj Gen Mugisha Muntu and FDC\u2019S national mobilisation secretary Ingrid Turinawe from their party headquarters in Najjanankumbi, Kampala.<\/p>\n

The clashes between police and FDC officials started after the party\u2019s top leadership announced that they had their own parallel election results tally centre and would be releasing their own results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
