CLARIFICATION ON THE CONDUCT OF NRM PARTY STRUCTURAL LEADERS SIDING WITH PARTICULAR CANDIDATES IN PARTY PRIMARIES – NEBBI DISTRICT ( NOMINATIONS)

 *Concern* !

We bring to your attention a matter of urgent concern regarding the ongoing NRM party primaries in Nebbi District, West Nile Subregion.

As the nomination exercise for the NRM Party primaries commenced on 17th June 2025, it has come to our notice that a section of newly elected NRM structural leaders in Nebbi District have openly aligned themselves with one of the aspirants contesting for the District Woman Member of Parliament seat.

Specifically, these structural leaders were seen accompanying Hon. Minister Nyamutoro Phiona during her nomination on 17th June 2025. Notably, Hon. Nyamutoro transported several party leaders to the nomination venue, including:

Mr. Ramandhan alias "Rama Nyaravur," NRM Chairman, Nyaravur-Angal Town Council

Mrs. Zeno, District Women’s League Chairperson, and her Vice Chairperson

Mr. Coobidongo Bright, District Youth League Chairperson

Mrs. Jolina, Parombo Town Council Youth League Chairperson

Ms. Akwiyachwiny Judith, District Youth League General Secretary

These leaders, among other notable figures, have demonstrated open support for one particular candidate—raising serious concerns about impartiality and fear of misconduct during the party primary process.

For the Nebbi District Woman MP seat, four candidates have been nominated:

1. Hon. Acibu Agnes (Incumbent)

2. Bithola Irene

3. Nyamutoro Phiona

4. Odongtho Irene

It is important to note that three of the four candidates were seconded by ordinary voters, whereas only Minister Nyamutoro was seconded entirely by NRM structural leaders—further intensifying perceptions of bias.

This scenario raises fundamental questions regarding the neutrality and integrity of NRM party structure and it's leaders in Nebbi District. The conduct of these leaders does not only risks undermining the credibility of the party’s internal democratic processes but also threatens unity within the party ahead of the general elections.

It is our strong belief that party structural leaders are expected to remain neutral during the primaries and only rally behind the duly elected NRM flagbearers in the general elections. The current behavior of the implicated leaders contradicts this principle and, if unaddressed, may compromise the fairness of the primaries and sow division within the party.
We therefore call upon the NRM top leadership and relevant organs to urgently intervene in Nebbi District to:

Investigate the matter thoroughly,
Provide clear guidelines and reinforcement of party regulations regarding neutrality during primaries, and
Restore confidence in the party's internal electoral process.
This intervention is crucial to preserving party unity and ensuring a credible and fair primary election in Nebbi District.

Surgeons fined $60,000 and banned permanently from profession after billionaire died during penis enlargement surgery.

Surgeons have been banned from practicing plastic surgery after a billionaire patient died during a penis enlargement procedure. Belgian-Israeli diamond dealer Ehud Arye Laniado, 65, died of a heart attack during the procedure to enlarge his penis at the Saint-Honore-Ponthieu aesthetic clinic in Paris. His star surgeon, known as Guy H, was known for operating on wealthy clients and he treated Ehud two to four times a year in procedures costing tens of thousands of euros. Wealthy Omega Diamonds owner Ehud would be operated on out of office hours. He had been having injections into his penis to make it appear larger. An investigation was swiftly opened into potential manslaughter chargers following his death, though it soon shifted to charges of failing to assist a person in danger, drug offences and practicing medicine without a licence. A Paris court on Wednesday suspended Guy H's licence and sentenced him to 15 months behind bars. His surgeon, who had been...
