On Friday, “Renewed Uganda” team a pressure group led by former security minister Rtd. Gen Henry Tumukunde visited the Electoral Commission Uganda offices to pick nomination forms for the 2021 presidential race.
“Our campaign shall continue to lawfully consult Ugandans from all backgrounds regardless of their ethnicity, religion, gender or other identifier as we seek to cause democratic transition of governance and deliver A Renewed Uganda,” Tumukunde vowed last week.
This brings a total of 58 Ugandans who have so far shown interest in running for the country’s top -most political seat, the Electoral Commission has revealed.
The Commission has since Monday August 10th been issuing out the forms to interested individuals to go make consultations and collect signatures from not less that 100 registered voters in their support.
“The aspirants will use the supporter forms to collect signatures indicating the support of not less than one hundred (100) registered voters in each of at least two thirds (2/3) of all the districts of Uganda,” the EC chairman Justice Simon Byabakama recently said.
“Aspiring presidential candidates are encouraged to submit the lists of supporters to the Electoral Commission for verification at least two (2) weeks before the nomination dates.”
The exercise is now in the third week.
