RUBANDA:
Three people have been nominated to contest for the Rubanda Woman parliamentary seat and four men for the LC5 chairperson seat.
Contestants Hildah Kabarungi (Ind), Vastine Katushabe (FDC) and Prossy Akampurira Mbabazi (NRM), were nominated for the parliamentary seat while Nelson Habasa (Ind), Stephen Ampaire Kasyaba (Ind), Kenneth Jogo Biryabarema (NRM) and Joseph Ruhangariyo (FDC) were nominated for the LC5 race last Friday.
However, the district returning officer, Mr Ismail Atwijukire, on Friday said he did not nominate Mr Benjamin Mbabazi, the UPC party flag bearer for the LC5 seat because the aspirant failed to raise the required number of signatures.
His nomination papers also had both the FDC party stamp and that of the UPC.
Mr Atwijukire asked the candidates to restrain their supporters from acts of violence so as to have a peaceful electoral process.
The candidates promised to ensure proper service delivery for the development of the newly created district. Ms Kabarungi said she opted to contest as an independent because she was not satisfied after losing in the NRM party primary election.
