NRM Party Primary Elections; Congolese Been Ferried to Vote, and Tribalism Talks Caused Hon Ajedra Gabriel Aridru to Fail in Vurra Constituency.

4th-September-2020 NRM Party Primary Elections for Parliamentary Seats.

Good morning my Beloved people of Vurra Constituency.

I wish to issue the following communique regarding the recently concluded NRM Election in Vurra Constituency.

After a meeting with family and close friends, I have decided NOT to File a Petition, even though the lawyers say the grounds are valid. Such as chasing my agents from some polling places, Congolese coming to vote, manipulation of the tallying sheets by election officials, etc. There is no such thing as free and fair elections in many parts of Africa and the world.

When you hear some respected leaders saying Vurras ( here I mean Vurra Subcounty ) have "eaten" enough, its time for Logiri.

I refuse to be associated with such sectarian politics and rudimentary discussions.

I do not want to be a leader responsible for divisive politics in Vurra Constituency.

I know many will be unhappy with my decision but never the less I had to make a statement on the elections.

As the NRM Chairman of Arua City and Arua District and in line with the NRM Constitution and being an NRM cadre, I WILL NOT and SHALL NOT stand as an Independent candidate in the General Elections.

I will now focus my efforts on campaigning for HE the President, Gen Kaguta Y Museveni. I wish my people of Vurra the best as they start to self govern themselves in our young District.

For God and my Country.

Hon.Eng.Dr.Ajedra Gabriel ARIDRU

MP.Vurra Constituency
