Dr. Tanga Odoi, the NRM party Electoral Commission chairman has vowed not to resign his post over the glitches in the NRM primaries. On Tuesday, NRM conducted primaries for the election of its mayoral, parliamentary and LC V chairperson flag bearers.
However, the polls were marred by ballot stuffing, violence, arrests, missing names and registers and insufficient ballot papers. This prompted the NRM Electoral Commission to postpone elections in several districts including Lwengo, Masaka, Namutumba, Kapchorwa and Wakiso.
Voting is ongoing in some of the areas such as Nakaseke, Lwengo, Namutumba and Wakiso among others. Some NRM members blamed the mess in the primaries on the party Electoral Commission and called on the members to resign.
