Residents within Kisoro Municipality are prepared to vote for either President Yoweri Museveni of NRM or Rtd Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye, come February 2016.
In a poll, majority believe Museveni still has the edge over his political rival and three-time challenger Besigye.
Those that support the NRM leader point at contributions like peace, free education and good infrastructure, while those on Besigye’s side feel he has what it takes to lead Uganda.
Nyakabande LC3 chairperson for FDC Archangel Nshimiyimana recently told KFM that many people are shifting allegiance to FDC because NRM is no longer the powerhouse it used to be. Instead, she said, it is filled with corruption and intrigue.
New Vision reached out to Kisoro NGO/CBO Forum Coordinator Rev Emmanuel Biguri Mfitumukiza who said that as a civil society organization in Kisoro, the politics in Uganda shows a leveled ground for all candidates to compete.
He said all candidates should be given equal opportunity to campaign countrywide and deliver to the masses their manifestos.
Early this week, eight presidential hopefuls were nominated by the Electoral Commission and will in the next three-and-a-half months traverse the country to drum up support in the race for State House.
