The Nomination exercise for Local Council leaders in Kasese District has entered day three with multitudes of candidates turning up to pick nomination forms.
The Electoral Commission District Registrar for Kasese Hajji Suleiman Kato says that many aspirants submit incorrect particulars of their seconders especially when it comes to capturing their Voter Identification Numbers and National Identification Numbers-NIN, which are mandatory requirements for a candidate’s nomination.
Kato noted that most of the candidates have showed up with some signatures from people who are not real voters from their respective area, an act which causes them to toss them back to search for the right people.
The District EC, urged the Local Council V and III leaders to make sure they submit their documents as early as possible since they require a big number of seconders from their electives areas. Hajji Kato explains: ……..
