EC nominates more candidates in Kazo
The nomination process for candidates at the Kazo Electoral Commission(EC) office is underway with candidates from various parties and independents being nominated.
Bashaija Charles, the Returning Officer for Kazo district announced that Mpiinga Kenneth who lost in the NRM primaries to Mugabe Bernard Kafure has officially been nominated to contest as an independent candidate for LCIII Chairperson, Kyampangara Subcounty.
Mpiinga criticized the NRM for not allowing voters to participate in decision-making, leading to his return into the race as an independent. He also accused the incumbent of lacking accountability.
Mugabe who is the current LC III Chairperson for Kyampangara expressed contentment with progress made in his tenure amongst which he cited new markets, health facilities and roads. He also pledged to complete ongoing projects including the requisition for a seed school and the construction of a subcounty office block. Mugabe previously served as LC 3 Chairperson for Kazo Subcounty from 2016 to 2021 before the subcounty was split.
Other nominations include Hon. Ntegyereize Winnie for Kiguma Parish in Burunga Subcounty running on an NRM ticket and her opponent Kamusiime Patricia who is contesting as an independent. Additionally, Hon. Karunga Edith Nankunda has been nominated as Lady Councilor for Magondo Parish.
