The Democratic Party is set to probe the alleged rigging that is keeping out some party members in the primaries at different levels country wide. This was disclosed by the party legal Advisor Fred Mukasa Mbidde while speaking to journalists at parliament.
Mbidde said that when the party president Norbert Mao resumes work next week from sick leave, DP executive through, the established tribunal, will listen to all petitions from the party members who claim to have been treated unfairly in primaries and find the solution to the matter. He said that where irregularities are proved, the party may cancel the results and have fresh elections to have harmony in the party.
He however said that in some instances the party members’ fight shows the love for the party and added that this should threaten those in power because it shows that DP is soon unseating them.
Mbide said that he is leaving the DP Legal Advisor seat for the vice president of the party, to have DP’s structures revived in order for the party to capture power in few years to come.
