The NRM has already scored an early victory in the grassroots race after 30 party candidates in Masaka City secured LC I chairperson positions without facing competition.
The party’s Deputy Secretary General Rose Namayanja Nsereko announced the development as she rallied supporters in greater Masaka to turn up in large numbers for the upcoming village and women council elections.
Namayanja said the unopposed victories show the confidence communities have in NRM candidates, who she said will help households tap into Government wealth creation programmes.
She urged voters to take the LC I elections seriously, saying village leaders are the first link between communities and Government services.
According to Namayanja, strong grassroots leadership will help more Ugandans access programmes such as the Parish Development Model and Emyooga, which are aimed at improving household incomes.
“Village leadership plays a critical role in wealth creation among households to propel the country’s socio-economic transformation,” she said.
She asked voters to choose NRM flagbearers, arguing that they are ready to work with Government to ensure effective service delivery.
Namayanja also warned NRM members against divisions and urged them to remain united behind party candidates as the elections approach.
She called for peaceful participation, reminding supporters to attend NRM Barazas on July 22, Women Council elections on July 23 and LC I elections on July 28.
The party leadership in Masaka City said it will continue mobilisation activities across the country as it prepares for the grassroots elections.
