NRM Urges Voters To Get National IDs at Launch of 2021 Electoral Road-map

The National Resistance Movement (NRM) has launched its political road map in preparation for 2021 general elections.

The road map activities are supposed to start this month with mobilization of party supporters to register and get national identity cards, a prerequisite for all voters.

The NRM Secretary General, Kasule Lumumba presented the key activities that the party will be organising while addressing journalists at the party headquarters on Plot 10, Kyadondo Road, Nakasero.

The party will also undertaking a political assessment across the country to gauge its strength and weaknesses in the coming months. Lumumba says the assessment informs NRM of areas that need to be strengthened.

The NRM parliamentary caucus and the executive, Lumumba said will commit to expediting legislations required for smooth running of 2021 elections. She said this activity will be conducted between January and May 2019.

Lumumba hinted there will be creation of new political administrative units – districts and constituencies – in the coming month. This is an activity that has also been highlighted in the road map.

Lumumba defended the anticipated creation of new administrative units, arguing that NRM listens to people, who it serves. Districts like Kasese are expected to be split.
