FUFA gave the three different days on which to pick nominations and return them in 48 hours.
Mujib was the first to drop out of the race citing a number of irregularities that FUFA implemented to aid Magogo back to office.
These included the short time FUFA gave them to collect the necessary signatures. Then the high fee of shs10M before collecting the nominations.
This left fellow MPs in the 11th parliament Moses Magogo and Allan Ssewanyana to tussle it out in the race.
FUFA went ahead to announce how Kasule and Ssewanyana had failed to return their nominations in due time.
“FUFA Electoral Committee announces that two FUFA Presidential aspirants Mr. Mujib Kasule and Hon. Allan Ssewanyana picked and failed to return forms within the set deadline.” FUFA wrote.
The two at first had petitioned the FUFA EC to have their time extended but this appeal was denied.
“Petition rejected because it raised no serious ground that prohibited the petitioners from returning the forms with basic requirements to participate in the polls and moreover no basis upon which the Committee could rely to assess their candidature.” FUFA further posted.
However, the body went ahead to announce how only Magogo had met the qualifications and returned his nomination papers.
“FUFA Electoral Committee announces that only one candidate Eng. Moses Magogo returned dully signed forms for the position of FUFA President. Magogo named his 14 man Committee that was released to the media today by the Electoral Committee as per Electoral Code.” The football governing body added.
This also means that Magogo has already assumed his third term in office. This happening even before the delegates conference set to sit in Mbale in August.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
