The ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) Central Executive Committee (CEC) has scheduled a rerun of the primary elections for the Kapchorwa Municipality, Woman parliamentary candidate and Tingey Constituency Mp race. The elections will be held on Thursday, July 31, 2025.
The decision follows the nullification of the earlier polls due to widespread irregularities, including allegations of voter bribery, forgery, and other electoral malpractices.
Central Executive Committee has also dispatched a team from the party secretariat to oversee the rerun and support the local electoral officials.
The initial elections were nullified after the arrest of the former district registrar over alleged misconduct during the voting process.
Isaac Chepkurui has since been appointed as acting registrar and will supervise not only the Kapchorwa rerun but also the ongoing NRM primary elections in the district.
Chepkurui is expected to work closely with the Central Executive Committee -appointed team to guarantee a free, fair, and credible electoral process.
NRM supporters in Kapchorwa have been urged to turn out in large numbers and participate peacefully in the polls.
