When will a Ugandan ever state that yes it is true we were beaten in an
election? With this thread I will be very surprised if Ocii or any other
Ugandan does not claim that Obote actually rigged this by-election. It is by
accepting that you have been beaten in an election that you go back and
rebuild, but Ugandans always have some crappy excuse on every single
election.
Just watch as this thread continues.

Jal Ocii,
Thanks for your bluntness. Truth must be spoken, not only to power but
also to the people and the power seekers. During the electoral campaigns
last year, I remember chastising the opposition parties for reserving
their venom for each other.
Politics is the art of the possible. It is also the art of making
coalitions and utilizing all means that don't require you to abandon
your principles to get what you want. As things stand, the probability
that an ailing UPC will remove Museveni all on its own is close to zero.
No, I'm being generous. It is pure fantasy.
But of course, we can't quite match the self-destructive energies of
political dilettantes who like to grandstand and vituperate their
(potential) allies in e-mail discussion forums instead of doing the hard
work of organizing Ugandans for more democratic alternatives.

Quite funny how you don't understand messages! Why don't you read
messages many times if thats what it takes, or ask questions before
reading finally what you want in them other than what is written?!
What has individuals got to do with point B or C?! You see thi's
where I normally get peeved!! If you don't understand nothing say so
before opening your ignorant mind!! It will help.
Moving from point A at present, to point B is a Woodpecking approach
to, let me use the same term, usher in "fundamental" change,
enabling putting in place, a modified version of a 'pecking order'
in the country; note modified -imparting a nationalistic pecking
order!
Do you get it now or are still wondering what Ocii is talking
about?! Let me know.

on how the plat form of this electorate has started to move
despite the lies of FDC and to wonder how Maama Miria's
leadership has some how survived to lead a seat in

This is one among many reasons there is need for point B to be able
to usher in a more nationalist and Africancentric constitution,
enabling thorough investigations into such deaths, and the
perpetrator/s punishable by death, if the death proves motivated by
any form of hatred!

UPC takes Oyam South MP seat
SAMUEL O. EGADU OYAM
Uganda Peoples Congress has defeated the ruling NRM in the hotly
contested Oyam South parliamentary by-elections.
District returning officer Robert Beine declared UPC's Issa Otto
winner just after 11:00pm on Thursday.
Mr Otto polled 8,842 votes against NRM candidate Patrick Ogwang's
5,352. Mr Ogwang came third in the race.
Independent candidate Nelson Adea was the second with 6,541 votes
while Ruth Ataala Adupa (independent) came last with 1,111 votes.
The seat fell vacant following the death of former member of
Parliament Yefusa Okullo Epak who succumbed to lung cancer at a South
Africa hospital in April. Celebrations
Jubilant UPC supporters danced and sang party songs upon hearing the
news of Mr Otto's victory.
The hotly contested seat attracted several NRM officials including
Dorothy Hyuha, minister without portfolio, Daniel Omara Atubo,
minister of lands, housing and urban development and Musa Ecweru,
state minister for disaster preparedness and refugees who camped in
Oyam to rally support for NRM candidate Ogwang.
Dokolo Woman MP Cecilia Ogwal (independent) also camped in Oyam to
campaign for Mr Adea.
There was low voter turn out as only 21,426 people voted out 93,803
registered voters in Oyam South constituency, representing just only
22.8%.
Cancelled results
Mr Beine said results of Aweikwo polling station were cancelled on
ground that the presiding officer did not submit declaration forms
from all the polling agents.
The elections were characterised by confusion, intimidation, voter
bribery and death.
At least two people were confirmed dead including Charles Awany, a UPC
party mobiliser, who was knocked dead by a speeding vehicle at Loro
Trading Centre on Lira-Kamdini highway.
