By Ashraf Saif-llah Kasirye

A group of NRM members have held a peaceful demonstration on Kampala Streets expressing their support to President Yoweri Museveni in the 2016 polls.

They denounced former Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi’s bid for presidency on NRM ticket.

The group included youth, women and different associations. Some came as far as Tororo in the Eastern region of Uganda.

They matched to NRM secretariat at Kyadondo Road and presented a petition to the deputy party Secretary General Richard Twodong.

They asked the party top organ to discipline Mbabazi for what they term as disuniting the party.

"We have walked all the way from Kafumbe Mukasa Road where our offices are based to come and deliver our petition. We are not against any political rights of a party member but we want the party constitution to be respected,” Bruhan Takar the NRM youth chairperson central division said.

Twodong assured the group that their petition will be presented to the party Central Executive.
