In short
The drive was meant to reunite NRM members who lost during the party primaries last year, some of whom went ahead to contest for various elective positions as independent candidates saying the party primaries were flawed.
The National Resistance Movement (NRM) party has deferred its planned countrywide reconciliation drive due to financial constraints, Secretary General Justine Kasule Lumumba says.
The drive was meant to reunite NRM members who lost during the party primaries last year, some of whom went ahead to contest for various elective positions as independent candidates saying the party primaries were flawed.
Lumumba says the party is financially constrained at the moment and may not have the capacity to conduct meetings across the country while at the same time preparing for the swearing in ceremony for president and other elected leaders. The President will be sworn in on May 12.
Similarly Tanga Odoi, the chairman of the NRM electoral commission says both winners and defeated candidates from the just concluded general election should forgive and forget in order to steer development within the party.
//Cue in: "while we emphasize...
"Cue out: ...you can win or lose."//
However, Maj Gen Otafiire Kahinda, one of the NRM enthusiasts who contested as an independent candidate says he remains a staunch member of the party with or without the reconciliation.
