Kampala, (UG):- The ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party will, effective Wednesday, March 13th to Sunday, March 17th, carry out the update of its register, an exercise that aims to ensure that the membership details are all up-to-date in the run-up to its internal and 2026 general elections.
The update of the party’s register exercise was officially launched last Wednesday by President Yoweri Museveni who also doubles as the National Chairman in an event that was held at the NRM Secretariat at Kyadondo Road in Nakasero, Kampala.
During the launch, the President said the exercise, a crucial activity for the party’s electoral roadmap for the 2026 elections, also serves as a reminder for the NRM leaders to emphasize the four NRM ideologies with the members to ensure that the party continues to attract more members during the exercise.
Starting March 13th, 2024, a member of the NRM will just need to go to their NRM village office or designated location where the exercise is taking place and meet with their respective party registrars to present their details.
Upon receipt of the member details, the registrar will proceed to update the details or amend as presented in the NRM Yellow Book, which then certifies the member as a bonafide NRM cadre and eligible for the party’s electoral activities and the national elections at large.
