The Ndorwa West County parliamentary aspirant in Kabale district Counsel Eliab Naturinda Mporera, has condemned the alleged voter intimidation and bribery, ahead of the upcoming NRM party primaries.
Speaking on Saturday during a grand homecoming procession that drew large crowds, Mporera called on the National Resistance Movement-NRM, to safeguard the integrity of its internal electoral process to ensure that competent leaders are chosen.
The colorful procession began in Nyakijumba, Kabale Municipality, and traversed key areas including Kabale Roundabout, Katuna, Ryakarimira, Butanda, Rubaya, and Bigaaga, before culminating at his residence in Bunagana Cell, Kamuganguzi Sub-county. At every stop, Mporera urged residents to reject all forms of electoral malpractice.
The lawyer-turned-politician took a swipe at incumbent leaders, accusing them of abandoning the electorate after assuming office.
He pledged to usher in a new era of people-centered leadership built on the principles of transparency, accountability, and sustainable development.
Mporera also emphasized the importance of a peaceful and respectful election, encouraging his supporters to remain vigilant and present at polling stations during vote counting and results announcements.
His remarks come amid growing public concern over electoral malpractices, including voter bribery and intimidation, reported in several regions.
Addressing journalists at his home in Bunagana, Kamuganguzi Sub-county, Mporera reiterated his commitment to being a bridge between the people and government.
He pledged to address key issues affecting the constituency, including improving road infrastructure, promoting cross-border trade, enhancing access to quality education, and strengthening healthcare services.
