The Unusual Side Of Presidential Nominations That Kept Everyone Talking

Posted by: Suubi Anne in Uganda news November 4, 2020

The two days of presidential nominations obviously put the whole country on tension. They didn’t know whether their candidates would go through, some people couldn’t operate their businesses freely due to fear of chaos.

There was however, an unusual side to these nominations. Like every event, there is always a lighter side which in this case was fun to watch.

For starters, the first day of the nominations was all serious until Presidential Candidate John Katumba run out of his car to catch up with his nomination scheduled time.

His car apparently got a flat tyre and he just couldn’t wait for mechanics to work on it. With his coat flying in the air, he took to his heels only to reach the nomination area missing some requirements.

The second day was even more dramatic. It all started with FDC President Amuriat’s arrest by the Police. That wasn’t even the point but where-the-hell-on-earth did they put his shoes?

It was both sad and hilarious to watch him walk barefoot with his coat slightly off the shoulders. Who can ever forget that sight, it added to the moment.

About the self proclaimed Ghetto president, it was just too much. We can start with the kangaroo-style move he made while picking his nomination papers from Justice Byakama, the Electoral Commission chairperson.

Then came the new fashion of the National Unity Platform leaders tailored by police. What happened to the suits, how did they turn out to be rugs and all filthy?

We just can’t separate comedy from politics, it always finds its way there. Did you listen to John Katumba’s speech? You can only sum up in one word, Joke.

In any case, politics has officially started now that presidential nominations are done. Museveni however, had it smooth perhaps because he is the president.
