NUP candidate Twahiri Waiswa commended the electoral commission for being independent this time and giving the nomination exercise impartiality

“For the first time we (opposition) were handled with equal status, no hustle but easily handled as candidates for which we put our hats off to the EC for being impartial and independent and hop security will borrow a leaf from them during campaigns,” Waiswa said after nomination.

Fred Balinango the NRM candidate called for mass votes to the ruling party challenging party members to pull and push together in the interests of the party.
