Former member of Parliament for Tororo Municipality, Sanjay Tanna lost shs 4.2 billion in the highly contested NRM Eastern vice chairperson political office to capt Mike Mukula.

Like the old saying that Money cannot buy everything, Sanjay Tanna is in serious financial quagmire on what next to do to push for his political ambitions.

Former Tororo Municipality MP Tanna bites more than he could swallow when he decided to contest against the incumbent Capt Mike Mukula for the NRM Vice Chairperson, Eastern Region.

According to provisional results following the Thursday elections, Mukula is in a comfortable position having won in over 80 districts.

According to sources, Tanna is grief-stricken having splashed over 4.1bn to the national delegates in a bid to win their favour to vote him.

Telesqop on Wednesday reported how Sanjay Tanna has been secretly receiving funds from the Indian community to oust Mukula. Apparently, Tanna who is of Indian origin received up to about Shs2bn from Indian government and other Indian businessmen in Uganda to fund his campaigns.

All the monies have gone to waste after NRM delegates preferred to retain their own-Mike Mukula who has played a magnificent role in promoting and lifting the NRM Party interests. Apparently, Tanna is very devastated with the loss and is bitter with everyone around him.

“He is totally inconsolable. He can’t believe he lost the race having spent that much in the campaigns,” a source confided in us.

NRM Electoral Commission (EC) Dr Tanga Odoi is expected to release the official results.
