The National Resistance Movement (NRM) Electoral Commission Chairman, Dr. Tanga Odoi, has expressed satisfaction with the overwhelming response to the call for expression of interest to fill two positions in the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA). The Commission received 39 applications, of which 38 candidates were successfully nominated.
Dr. Odoi noted that the nomination process was conducted transparently and in strict adherence to party procedures. The list of nominees includes members of the 11th Parliament who resigned their positions to comply with EALA requirements. The Commission will forward the list to the party Secretary General, who will submit it to the Central Executive Committee (CEC) for vetting and voting.
The final stage involves presentation to the NRM Parliamentary Caucus for election, scheduled for Friday at State House Entebbe. Dr. Odoi encouraged unsuccessful candidates to remain committed and consider future opportunities.
