Additionally, he said that as a serious politician, at times it is good to accept defeat and work together with the winner for the better of the party and the constituency at large than creating division and wastage of time.

The statement was made yesterday by a senior NRM politician/historian, Victor Kyemuswa Wanyoto in a one on one with our reporter.

What You Need To Know:

Budadiri East MP Aspirant,  Wamboya Vicent  last week filed a petition before the Chairperson of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Electoral Commission, Dr. Tanga Odoi, over his loss to retired Engineer Nakiyi Julius in the party primaries. 

According to Wamboya,  he contends that the party’s elections were unfair and marred by violence and the ferrying of voters—irregularities he says cannot go unchallenged. 

However, in a move aimed at blocking Wamboya, NRM officials in Budadiri have vowed not to allow any independent or opposition candidates during the 2026 general elections.

Records indicate that Nakiyi beat the 2nd run up in his own village with 13 votes against Wamboya with 11 votes.

Background check on the declaration result form in total, Engineer Julius Nakiyi, got 34,115 (52%) votes and Wamboya Vicent, who petitioned the election got 29,083 (44.1%) votes.
