Yoweri Kaguta Museveni: I congratulate the NRM
mobilisers in Rukungiri District for the good work
they did in the elections of Woman MP yesterday.
Inspite of the divisions among the NRM leaders
and attempts to use religion (Catholics vs
Protestants) and tribe (Bakiga vs Bahororo-Banyak
ore), Hon Masiko Winifred won in 114 polling
stations out of the total of 280, albeit sometimes,
with less majority than before.
.
Due to the weakness on the side of the police and
the NRM leaders, I also hear that there was
intimidation of voters by hooligans from Kampala
and other areas. I salute those who defied those
odds and voted for the NRM.
My programmes of wealth creation for the masses,
especially the youth, will continue. Some of those
groups helped in winning some parts of the
municipality.
Winning in the big sub-counties of Nyakishenyi and
Nyarushanje is on account of the steadfastness of
our supporters inspite of the confusion among the
leaders.
