Earlier in his welcome address, the LGA party Chairman, Mr. Kesiena Nomuoja said the meeting was aimed at strengthening and repositioning the party for victory ahead of the forthcoming local government and future elections.
On the Local Government elections, the party Chairman noted that the number of aspirants vying for the position from the party was worrisome and stressed the need for the party and it’s leaders to intervene before it leads to disunity amongst vested interests.
He said, “this is a stakeholders meeting. Party leaders and those that pilot its affairs are just servant leaders. The essence of calling this meeting is for all of us to brainstorm and come out with the best decision on how to approach this matter.”
Speaking further, Nomoja disclosed that the party had already set up a committee to screen and possibly narrow the number of chairmanship aspirants, adding that report of the committee was ready.
However, after much deliberation on the issue, the party resolved to keep in view the report of the committee, pending further decisions from the leadership of the party at the state and its leader, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
