Ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) chairman President Yoweri Museveni has appointed a team that will oversee the local council elections.

The 23 member team will be working in different parts of the country,to ensure a free and fair electoral process.

The team comprises of the party Secretary General, Justine Kasule Lumumba, treasurer, Rose Namayanja Nsereko, John Arimpa Kigyagi and Charles Egou, who will be in charge of central region.

Other appointed members include Dr. Tanga Odoi(Ankole region), Mike Ssebalu and Jane Babiiha Alisemera(Kampala and Wakiso),Mathias Kasamba(Greater Masaka), Anthony Iga(Greater Mubende and Mpigi) while Juliet Kabonesa will be in charge of greater Mukono region.

Other party officials appointed include Senior Presidential Advisor on Diaspora affairs, Hajji Abbey Walusimbi who will be in charge of greater Luweero region while Col.Shaban Bantariza(Busoga region), Emmanuel Dombo(Teso region) and Richard Todwong (Acholi region).

According to the NRM Director for information and publicity, Emmanuel Dombo, who is also part of the team, said that he would get full details of team's work before the polling exercise.

NRM party held their Parliamentary primary elections on September 04, where they lined up behind candidates, for their first time as adopted by the party's committee early this year, but the exercise was characterized chaos and violence.

While responding to the recently concluded voting exercise last week, President Museveni said the game is finished for party members who were involved in creating the violence.

"There was violence in a constituency called Bukono where 12 people were beaten and cut with pangas. I got information that police had not done much work. I told IGP that if police didn't do the work, I will do it for them by arresting them first and then bring the rest myself. I have the capacity to do it," said Museveni.

Among the regions that experienced a lot of violence were Nkore (Ankole), Sembabule and Namutumba regions. The team members will be expected to ensure that peace, and harmony prevail during the local council elections.
