Tribunal to Decide Fate of Tanga Odoi's Son Elected as NRM Youth League Chairperson- Museveni

 

President Museveni has said that the fate of the newly elected NRM Youth League chairperson, Collins Tanga  lies with the party’s tribunal after sections of delegates protested the election results.

Tanga is a son to the NRM electoral commission chairperson, Dr.Tanga Odoi.

He polled 1,567 votes to beat Brenda Kiconco with 1,355 votes to the seat.

However, Kiconco has contested the outcome of the elections.

Speaking during the closure of the NRM National Delegates Conference at Kololo on Thursday, Museveni acknowledged objections raised by a group of youth members but stressed that under the law, once a candidate is declared elected, the results can only be overturned through a formal petition.

“I have noted the objection of the youth, but when I checked with lawyers, once somebody is announced, they can only be removed by petition,” Museveni told the gathering. He added that the resolution could be amended to reflect that the election of the youth delegate was contested and is now before the tribunal.

“If I had the power to order anything, I would have done it, but I don’t have [that power], except to refer it to the tribunal. Let us have an amendment to the resolution to say the election of the youth leader is contested. My young people, your objection will be part of this resolution,” the President said.
