  • NRM candidates for Local Council 1 (LC1) chairperson positions in Gomba District are criticizing their local Members of Parliament.
  • The candidates claim MPs have abandoned them during crucial village campaign periods.
  • They accuse the MPs of failing to provide support despite receiving assistance in past elections.

National Resistance Movement (NRM) candidates vying for Local Council 1 (LC1) chairperson positions in Uganda's Gomba District have voiced strong criticism against their area Members of Parliament. The candidates allege that the MPs have neglected them during the critical phase of village-level campaigning.

This accusation comes despite the support the LC1 candidates claim to have provided to these MPs in previous electoral cycles. The candidates feel abandoned at a time when grassroots campaigning is vital for mobilizing support and securing victory in the local elections.

The perceived lack of support from elected representatives raises concerns about party solidarity and the effectiveness of campaign strategies at the local level. The NRM candidates are calling for renewed engagement from their parliamentary counterparts to bolster their efforts in the ongoing electoral process.
