NRM Launches Register Update Campaign in Kabale District
Uganda's National Resistance Movement (NRM) is drumming up support in the Kigezi sub-region with a register update campaign. The launch, held at the Kabale NRM party office, buzzed with activity as high-ranking officials like David Bahati (Minister of Trade, Industry, and Cooperatives, and NRM Chairperson for Kabale), Chris Baryomusi (Minister of ICT and National Guidance, and NRM Chairperson for Kanungu), and Henry Musasizi (Minister of State for Finance, and NRM Chairperson for Rubanda) took center stage.
This update, initiated by President Museveni in February 2024, is a strategic move for the NRM party, aiming to solidify their base for the 2026 elections. An accurate register will be their compass, guiding them in gauging supporter strength and planning effective campaigns.
Ministerial speeches echoed the importance of the exercise. David Bahati urged Kabale residents to register, emphasizing its role in proper planning and discouraging duplicate registrations. He highlighted how a robust register strengthens party democracy. Henry Musasizi announced training for registration officers in Rubanda, underlining the importance of wealth creation programs alongside the elections.
