Vice President Jessica Alupo, Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja Lead Strongman Team Questing For NRM’s Victory In Bukimbiri By-Election

Vice President Jessica Alupo and Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) have turned up in a big way to canvass for votes for their party’s candidate Eddie Kwizera Wagahungu in the Bukimbiri Country by-elections ahead of the voting day Thursday 11th August 9, 2022.

Well aware of the risk they face if they let an opposition candidate win a by-election, the NRM has not taken any single by-election for granted and has vowed to do all it takes to win any such election that will come up across the country.

To show their seriousness, the ruling party dispatches their strongest manpower to campaign for their candidate in any by-election. As a custom, the party’s chairman Yoweri Museveni reinforces the team last to ask for voters to vote for the NRM candidate.

But this time, the party was faced with two by-elections whose voting date is 11th August 9, 2022 – Bukimbiri County in Kisoro district and Gogonyo County in Pallisa district.
