The Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) has approved Tanga Odoi for another term as the chairman of the party’s electoral commission, Busoga Times has learnt.
This development comes at a time when the party is entering a busy period where the party will conduct internal party elections to choose flag bearers in the 2026 general elections. Tanga Odoi has released a roadmap to this effect. The roadmap is being implemented.
Tanga Odoi’s reign has been characterised by chaotic and violent party elections, quarrels and complaints, electoral malpractices, and internal party fights. His return will be a surprise to many party members.
However, his reappointment seems to be a vote of confidence and an appreciation reward from the appointing authority, President Yoweri Museveni.
While a complete list of the commissioners hasn’t been availed, it is believed that Arimpa John Kigyaji has been dropped. Other members of the Commission are aJacan Omach as Deputy Chair, Alisemera Jane Babiiha, Amb. James Kinobe, James Tweheyo, Zaitun Driwaru and Juliana Auma.
