The minister is now expected to relinquish the Sheema North MP seat he is currently holding to be nominated as the NRM flag bearer for the newly created municipality seat.

Dr Tumwesigye’s decision to contest for the seat drew protests from his fellow contenders who had threatened to drag him to court, claiming that he could not seek election in an another area while holding another MP seat.

He is now expected to face off with candidates from other parties such as Dr Mesarch Katusiime, the former Vice Chancellor of Ankole Western University and Ambrose Mwesigye, the former Deputy RDC Hoima, who are expected to contest as Independents.

In the NRM party primaries for the municipal mayoral seat, Abel Atucungwire Kahara emerged winner, with 1,2691 (49%), beating his closest rival Yese Mubangizi Kamanyire who got 6,955 (27%). Peter Kabagambe came third with 5,601 votes, representing 21%.

The winners were declared by NRM electoral commission chairman Tanga Odoi.

Dr Tanga asked Dr Tumwesigye, who is the NRM district chairman, to reconcile with the candidates he contested with.

“People have deep hatred for one another here, I saw it in the meeting we had on Sunday; the candidates were so much touched by the coming of Dr Elioda because he had promised when we met in stakeholders meeting that he would not come in the race; but he reconsidered his position and that is what human beings are; they change positions and he came. They did not accept but I want to request Dr Elioda to do his best to win over those other candidates because they have voters and we shall not benefit if he stands aloof and thinks he has won after the election,’’ Dr Tanga said.
