The NRM Parliamentary Caucus has unanimously supported the Chobe Resolution by the Party’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) to have the National Party Chairman and President H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni continue leading the party and the State in 2021 and beyond.

The position by the NRM Legislators, according to a statement by Rogers Mulindwa was taken shortly after the presentation by the Party Secretary General Rt. Hon. Justine Kasule Lumumba on the topic Towards 2021: Milestones & Strategies for the NRM Party During her address, SG Lumumba read out to members the Chobe resolutions.

Mulindwa is a manager of communications and publications at the NRM secretariat.

The motion mover Hon. Hellen Asamo representing PWDs in Eastern Region said Uganda needs President Museveni now more than ever before for his firm guidance and mentorship of the Party Membership. Her position was unanimously seconded before the Legislators took a break.

Chobe resolution

While meeting at Chobe Safari Lodge in Nwoya District last month, the NRM CEC members endorsed a number of resolutions to consolidate the party’s political and economic agenda, among which includes the need to maintain Mr Museveni, who has been in power since 1986, their party chairperson at the helm of the party and the country.

The next presidential and general elections are less than two years away, in 2021, according to a roadmap the Electoral Commission released late last year.
