Days after Kampala Woman Legislator Nabilah Nagayi’s nomination forms were rejected by the Forum For Democratic Change Party, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Vice Chairperson in Eastern Region Capt. Mike Mukula has advised Kampala Woman Member of Parliament (MP) Nabilah Nagayi Sempala to consider joining the ruling party to avoid further embarrassment from her current political party.

“I have noted with great concern that Nabilah Nagayi the current Woman MP for Kampala has been barred from competing on FDC ticket for the post of Lord Mayor in the forthcoming elections. I would like to inform her that she is welcome to NRM with all other FDC members who have not picked the forms to contest for Parliamentary seat,” Mukula said.

“We don’t segregate anybody in NRM and we shall welcome all those who have seen the light.” Capt. Mukula added.

Background

On Wednesday, FDC party refused to receive nomination forms from Hon. Nabilah for the post of Mayor for Kampala Capital City on grounds that she had returned the forms past the deadline that was set by the party.

Nabilah, however, noted that the deadline in question was that of the Parliamentary and local council seats and not for the Mayoral position.

Following the decision taken by FDC to reject Nabilah’s forms which the party official also said were fake, a fight ensued between her supporters and those of the incumbent Mayor, Erias Lukwago at the party headquarters.

A couple of FDC incumbent Members of Parliament have since been barred from returning nomination forms and these are expected to either stand as independents in the next general elections or join other political parties in the country if they plan to contest again in the forthcoming elections.
