Dead Bodies on Register Force NRM to Nullify Jacqueline Mbabazi’s Candidature — Wife to Former Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi
The National Resistance Movement (NRM) has nullified Jacqueline Mbabazi’s candidature for the parliamentary seat representing older persons in western Uganda.
The shocking decision came after revelations that dead bodies who were still listed on the register had been recorded as having voted.
In response, the party has ordered fresh elections to restore credibility and rebuild confidence in its internal democratic processes.
The scandal has sparked heated debate within the NRM, with growing calls for tighter scrutiny and transparency in party primaries.
