LIST: 38 nominated for two NRM EALA slots
KAMPALA: The National Resistance Movement Electoral Commission Chairman, Dr Tanga Odoi, has expressed satisfaction with the overwhelming response to the call for expression of interest to fill two positions in the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA).
Following the Monday announcement, the Commission received 39 applications, of which 38 candidates were successfully nominated.
Dr Odoi noted that the nomination process was conducted transparently and in strict adherence to party procedures.
He added that the list of nominees includes members of the 11th Parliament who chose to resign their parliamentary positions in order to comply with the legal requirements governing the EALA race.
Following the close of nominations today, the Commission will forward the list of candidates to the party Secretary General, who will subsequently submit it to the Central Executive Committee (CEC) for vetting and voting. The final stage will involve presentation to the NRM Parliamentary Caucus for election.
The Commission Chairman emphasized that despite the high number of applicants, the party is only seeking to fill two positions. He encouraged those who may not succeed in this round to remain committed and consider future opportunities, particularly in 2027.
He also clarified concerns regarding the tenure of current EALA representatives, explaining that the ongoing internal party processes do not affect their mandate. Serving members will continue in office until the end of their term, in accordance with the law.
