The Secretary-General of the National Resistance Movement (NRM), Richard Todwong, has revealed that the just concluded exercise of the party membership register update was successful across the country.
The exercise was launched by NRM National Chairman and President of Uganda, Yoweri Kaguta, at the party headquarters last month. The update and registration ran from March 13, 2023, to March 17, 2024 in all 72,000 villages.
“I have monitored the display and updating of our membership register, and I can confidently declare that it has ended peacefully with a few concerns,” Todwong said.
Todwong also revealed that the updated ‘Yellow Books’ would later undergo a thorough review at zonal centers before data is fed into the digital bank.
He said that in some areas where there was low turnout, the party leadership would review the process and offer guidance.
Todwong assured the members, especially students currently in school, that there would be another opportunity for them to register in the holidays before “we embark on preparing for internal elections.”
