We have received with shock reports from Teso that the area cultural leader Emorimor Papa Augustine Osuban is facing forceful removal from his throne.

The plan to oust him is being championed by his very archival, Paphrous Imodot Edimu who is backed by a group of some royals in Teso. Edimu has told journalists in Teso that they have been forced to fight Emorimor because of his reported refusal to organise polls and pave way for his successor. Edimu says that the post of Emorimor is elective and that the current Emorimor has over stayed on the chair.

The term of office for the current Emorimor expired in 2009. The term of office for the Emorimors lasts for only five years. Edimu says that whenever they attempt to organise fresh elections, the current Emorimor uses police and area politicians to frustrate the function.

He says that last year the current Emorimor used the area RDC to disband the election of a new Emorimor which was to take place in Lukikho hall, in Soroti. Edimu however vows that the current Emorimori will be replaced by February this year. By Moureen Nakyanzi
