The Member of Parliament for Rubanda West, Henry Banyenzaki who also a member of the National Resistance Movement has blamed the mishaps that were witnessed in the NRM primary elections recently on a possible gap or lacuna in the Political Organizations Act, which regulates activities of political parties in Uganda.

He says the Act lacks satisfactory clauses for addressing the grass root elections and thus the bigwigs in NRM have chosen to take advantage of such gaps to rig elections in the party grass root elections.

Banyezaki says therefore such a law that has gaps should be amended if the country is to be rid cases of malpractices in grass root elections of parties in Uganda.

Banyezaki has spoken this after the elections of the National Resistance Movement for district Chairpersons were chaotic in a number of places in the country though the most chaotic ones were those that took place in Sembabule where the MP for Lwemiyaga County Theodore Sekikubo  claimed election malpractices which resulted in physical violence..

The NRM party is alleged to have rigged its way to power in the 2006 general elections which the Chairman of the NRM Yoweri Kaguta Museveni the president of Uganda won to get a third term in power and was said to have been marred with lots of election malpractices.
