KAMPALA – The Former Soroti County Member of Parliament Kenneth Esiangu Etunganane has officially crossed to the National Ruling Movement – NRM Party one year after losing to Forum For Democratic Change FDP Party Tom Julius Ekudo.
He joined the party together with Hon. Caxton Etii, who represented Erute county south in Lira district on the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC).
Two former Members of Parliament were officially received by the Secretary General, Rt. Hon. Richard Todwong, at the party headquarters in Nakasero, Kampala.
In a statement released by NRM Party this afternoon via its website nrm.ug, Todwong said that, “It is exciting to get new people joining us because it adds to our strength. These are well-qualified people, and the party hopes to hugely benefit from their contributions.”
Todwong added that the party will always be available to provide guidance and relevant support to converts as they aspire to transform the lives of their communities.
Mr. Esiangu said he joined the ruling NRM in the realization that the party has better plans for improving people’s lives through programs like the parish development model.
He added, according to NRM’s website that, “My desire to join the mass party is due to its clear core ideological principles of nationalism, pan-Africanism, democracy, and socio-economic transformation as compared to the opposition parties.”
Mr. Caxton Etii commended President Yoweri Museveni and the secretariat leadership for embracing and offering a platform for everyone to shine. The beauty of NRM is that one is free to seize an opportunity and excel, irrespective of the time he joined.
The director of mobilization at the NRM secretariat, Hon. Rosemary Nansubuga Sseninde, said the party’s doors are open to whoever wants to join if they cherish its clear ideologies.
“I believe my brothers have chosen to associate with us on the conviction that the party has foundations and pillars which for decades have held Ugandans together,” Seninde said.
