The registration process, overseen by NRM officials, aims for transparency and discipline, according to the party’s first National Vice Chairman, Al Hajj Moses Kigongo. He emphasized the importance of updating the party register accurately to maintain credibility.
Richard Todwong, the NRM Secretary General, affirmed the party’s commitment to President Museveni’s legacy and urged members to offer themselves for the party’s cause in future elections. He cautioned against subversive activities and emphasized loyalty to the party chairman.
The update and registration process, supervised by the NRM Electoral Commission Chairman Dr. Tanga Odoi, involves displaying the register in all 72,000 villages and convening village barazas for engagement on March 17th, 2024.
