The National resistance Movement (NRM) party flag bearer, Philip Oucor, has been nominated by the Independent National Electoral Commission to contest in the Serere county parliamentary by-election. The seat became vacant after the death of incumbent Patrick Okabe in December last year.
Mr. Oucor’s nomination was attended by the NRM 1st Vice National Chairman, Al-Hajji Moses Kigongo, along with Hon. Rosemary Seninde, the Director of Mobilization, and Hon. Emmanuel Dombo, the Director of Communication, among other party district leaders.
After the nomination, Vice Chairman Kigongo asked voters not to be confused by self-seekers claiming to be part of NRM, but instead to mobilize for Oucor, who is the official candidate.
“Please don’t pay attention to self-seekers whose aim is distraction. NRM has only one candidate, Oucor,” Kigongo said. “Last time we lost Serere, this time we have come to win Serere. Philip is contesting not as an individual but as a candidate sponsored by NRM. We should not hold onto our grudges, if any. Let us unite for the good of the party.” Kigongo Rallied The People Of Serere
Alhajj Kigongo also appealed to the voters to elect an NRM candidate, saying that the NRM party is ready to implement its promises captured in the manifesto and that the right candidate to work with is Mr. Phillip Oucor.
“Philip Oucor represents the NRM Party. Our being here is a clear testimony that he has our full endorsement and blessings,” Mr. Kigongo said while addressing supporters at the Serere district headquarters.
NRM Flag Bearer Philip Oucor commended the NRM leadership for standing tall and firm with the people of Serere and for also respecting their will of having him as their flag bearer. He promised to reach out to every voter, including those who may not be in agreement with him.
On her part, the Director of Mobilization for the NRM party, Hon. Rosemary Seninde, expressed confidence and hope for a win.
Seninde acknowledged that there have been some controversies in the NRM camp, but appreciated the people of Serere for displaying maturity amidst confusion.
The NRM Electoral Commission Chairman, Dr. Tanga Odoi, said that as a party in power, they hope to cooperate with Oucor in the implementation of his promises to uplift the social well-being of the communities of Serere.
The Official campaigns for all candidates will commence next week on Monday, February 10th, and voting will be on February 23rd
