Cue out "...and democracy."//


Meddy Mulumba warns that if nothing against unruly party members that violence is likely to spill over in the 2011 elections.


Abdullah Waiswa, a victim of the attack says that he was put at gun point to announce results in favor of one candidate despite the fact that he didn't win the elections.


Waiswa urges the party leadership to sensitize its members on the rules governing the party elections.


He says that many NRM card holding party members don't know how the rules of the party apply to them.
