NRM CEC has met the National vice chairman Alhaji Moses Kigongo at Mosa Courts for consultation and it was unanimously agreed that the tentative NRM road map activities( 2024 to 2026) be stayed until CEC meets to make an input.
The National Resistance Movement (NRM) Central Executive Committee (CEC) has deferred the discussion on Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s presidential ambitions in the 2026 general election to President Museveni.
Following their meeting, which took place at Mosa Courts in Kampala on Friday, CEC members resolved that any discussion on the 2026 elections be halted until the President, who is the party chairman, decides on the matter.
“We members of CEC have today 23rd of February 2024 converged to meet the national vice chairman Alhaji Moses Kigongo at Mosa Courts for consultation and it was unanimously agreed that the tentative NRM road map activities 2024 to 2026) be stayed until CEC meets to make an input,” the committee said in a press statement signed by Kigongo.
Top on the agenda of the meeting was listening to a petition by some NRM members led by presidential advisor David Mafabi regarding the formation of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), which is headed by Gen Kainerugaba.
While the brains behind PLU insist it is a civic movement formed to promote patriotism in Uganda, some NRM members say ruling party supporters have been appointed to senior positions there, something that they say is bound to create confusion in the party ahead of the 2026 polls.
At the same meeting, CEC members expressed their displeasure on designations of commissioners of parliament, leadership of the sessional and standing committees of Parliament were made without input of CEC in contravention of the rules of procedure for the NRM parliamentary caucus.
The meeting also decided that a vote be allocated to the central Executive Committee out of Government funds disbursed to the NRM, to be vested in the National vice Chairman for management and administration for party activities and accountability.
Muhoozi has since announced plans to contest for president in the 2026 polls and attracted the support of historicals, serving cabinet ministers, and MPs.
