Schedule: How Museveni will campaign on radio/TV

The ruling NRM party has released the program that their presidential candidate, Yoweri Museveni, will follow while campaigning in the last leg.

Museveni resumed campaigns today with Kisoro district where he’ll be meeting NRM leaders.

“Happy New Year to you all. We start the final leg of our campaign with a meeting our [NRM] leaders in Kisoro District today,” the president tweeted Monday morning.

He also that he’ll today evening conduct a radio/TV address translated in Luo for the benefit of Acholi and Lango sub-regions.

According to the NRM Secretary General Justine Kasule Lumumba, President Museveni will revisit some districts that he had previously campaigned in. He’ll also take some time to go to those he skipped.

This, according to the party arrangements, will go hand in hand with his television and radio addresses across the country.

‘’I want to inform the country that after the announcement by the Electoral Commission suspending political activities in the 14 districts in the country, the NRM party took a decision that our presidential candidate will increase on radio and TV programmes,” Lumumba said, according to Nrm.ug.

“We have also considered our presidential flag bearer to go back to some of the districts, somewhere he has been to while others, he did not make it.’’

The schedule released by Nrm.ug shows that Museveni will have a radio and TV programme translated in Lugisu, Lumasaba on Tuesday, Jan. 5.

He will have another translated in Lugbara for the benefit of the West Nile region on Wednesday, then that in Ateso on Thursday and on Friday at 7pm, he’ll do one in Runyakitara for the benefit of Banyankole, Batoro, Banyoro and Bakiga ethnic communities.

On Jan. 11, he will address a press conference for TV and radio that will be in Lusoga and another address for the people of central region through radio and television in Luganda.

The President will later conduct a general address to sum up his campaigns and it will take place at Nakasero on January 12.

Justine Lumumba says in Kisoro the president is planning to meet leaders in Maracha, Kasandha and Mityana.

“So we are working out plans with the Electoral Commission to see that we don’t collide with any candidate. And the moment EC gives us permission we shall get to inform people in those areas so that we are able to receive him and work with him,’’ Lumumba said.

The President will visit Yumbe district in West Nile on State duty to officiate at the opening of a new fruit factory and the government referral hospital that was constructed recently.
