Uganda’s electoral commission has revised the roadmap to the general election, announcing an earlier date for the nomination of presidential candidates, even as the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) reels from violent primaries.
At a press briefing on Friday, the commission's chairperson, Justice Simon Byabakama, announced that presidential nominations would now take place on September 23 and 24, bringing the dates forward from the originally scheduled October 2 and 3.
