National Resistance Movement (NRM) Secretary General, Richard Todwong, welcomed Ms. Asiimwe Joan to the ruling party today.
Asiimwe, a former member of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Party, lost trust in its ideologies. Accompanying Asiimwe was Buyaga West constituency MP, Hon. Barnabas Tinkasimire, and other local leaders from Kitagwenda and Kamwenge districts.
Presiding over the event at the party offices on Plot 10, Kyadondo Road, Nakasero, Kampala, the Secretary-General officially welcomed her by handing over the NRM constitution, manifesto, and branded shirts. He encouraged her to read and understand the party’s core principles.
“I congratulate you on this wise move to join the NRM. The beauty of our party is that we galvanize our energies in areas that affect the masses. We speak about the things that affect our masses. We don’t concentrate on the things that divide our people,” Todwong said.
“I ask you to read and understand our ideology and I encourage you to participate in the activities of our party,” he added.
In her remarks, Asiimwe revealed that she is joining the NRM because it holds the future for both the young and old generations.
“I firmly believe in the principles, values, and focus that the NRM upholds, and I am ready to contribute to the betterment of our country through meaningful political participation,” she said.
“I left FDC because of the loss of direction and purpose from the party,” she added.
