The countrywide NRM register update exercise has commenced with a remarkable turnout of party members, who diligently verified their membership status in the yellow books within their respective villages and branches.
The exercise which is being conducted across the villages in the country will run from Wednesday 13th-Sunday 17th March 2024. The party seeks to register new supporters from the age of 16 and above as well as update particulars of those already in the register.
The update will enable NRM to know the exact number of voters they have, so they are in position to mobilize for more support in areas where it is lacking.
According to the party’s Deputy Secretary General, Rt. Hon. Namayanja Rose Nsereko, the process proceeded smoothly throughout the first day. She visited various registration points in Kampala and Wakiso districts, personally registering members in some branches.
Expressing satisfaction with the exercise’s smooth progress, Namayanja assured that the party would possess a legitimate, certified register in compliance with the party’s roadmap. She also noted that teams are deployed nationwide to ensure the exercise proceeds seamlessly, with no significant issues reported thus far.
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who doubles as the chairman of NRM, launched the display and update of the NRM voter register on February 28, 2024.
