The people of Uganda will line up to cast their vote on this 18th February 2011. The presidential and parliamentary posts are up for grabs. The National Resistance Movement, NRM, which has had the majority vote in parliament, will seek to dominate, while the opposition will try to turn the tables. But all the opinion polls conducted in this campaign period have shown the NRM, and its presidential candidate and incumbent, Yoweri Museveni Kaguta leading in the poll results by over 64%, of which the opinion polls had a margin of error of 2.5%. Whether this is a reflection of the voters remains to be seen.
The presidential candidates are:
Yoweri Kaguta Museveni; National Resistance Movement (NRM)
Kizza Besigye; Forum; Democratic Change (FDC)
Abed Bwanika; People’s Development Party (PDP)
Olive Betty Namisango Kamya; Uganda federal alliance (UFA)
Olara Ottunu; Uganda People’s Congress (UPC)
Nobert Mao; Democratic Party (DP)
Jaberi Bidandi Ssali; People’s Progressive Party (PPP)
Samuel Lubega; Independent
