Successful Start to NRM Register Update – Namayanja

1 Mins read

The nationwide NRM register update has begun with a strong turnout of party members, actively confirming their membership status in the yellow books within their villages and branches.

Rose Namayanja Nsereko, the party’s Deputy Secretary General, reported a smooth process on the first day. She personally visited registration points in Kampala and Wakiso districts, actively participating in member registrations.

Namayanja stressed the significance of member engagement, highlighting that only registered members would be eligible to vote in the structure and primary elections preceding the 2026 general elections.

After the update, Namayanja stated, “the register will be printed and presented for scrutiny before returning to the national level.” She reiterated the party’s commitment to ensuring a fair primary process and addressing any concerns raised by members promptly. Registration is conducted only for those physically present to maintain accurate record-keeping in the yellow book.

With satisfaction over the exercise’s progress, Namayanja assured the party would have a legitimate, certified register in line with its roadmap. Teams are deployed nationwide to ensure seamless execution, with no significant issues reported thus far.

NRM National Treasurer Amb. Barbra Nekesa Oundo, updating her membership in Busia district, emphasized the process’s importance. “We will use the same register for our structure elections shortly,” she noted.

Oundo urged members to verify their details accurately, aligning them with the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA)’s records.

“I urge everyone to utilize these five days to crosscheck their details in the NRM membership register,” she emphasized. “Remember, this is not a voter’s register but a register for party faithful aged 16 and above. Let’s approach this as a collective responsibility, with everyone playing a vigilant role.”

The registration exercise will continue until Sunday, March 17, 2024.
