President Museveni stopped Monday cabinet meetings for party elections. He asked lawmakers to skip Tuesday's work meetings as well. NRM members must visit their villages on Tuesday morning to check voter lists. People will elect village leaders between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. only. Museveni himself plans to join the process at his Rwakitura home.
The president said he stays neutral about who wins. His wife, Janet, will check names at her Ireenga village. These local votes help prepare for the national elections coming next January. Other political groups have already started picking leaders for the race. Both the FDC and DP parties finished taking names from people who want to run for president. DP leader Norbert Mao said he wants to keep his job and run for president again.
