Celebrations have started in Sheema Municipality where former URA top shot Dicksons Kateshumbwa floored the Science and Technology Minister, Elioda Mwesigye in this Friday’s NRM Primaries.
According to the provisional results, Mr. Kateshumbwa got 22,908 votes while Minister Tumwesigye got 15,169 of the vote.
Goats have been slaughtered for a massive fete this evening.
Women were seen mingling millet and washing dishes as men prepared beef for the party.
Dr Tumwesigye, who is the incumbent Sheema municipality MP, went to August House after the July 27, 2018 by-election.
Before beating Ms Plan Virginia Mugyenyi of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) in the general elections, the legislator had already beaten seven contenders in the NRM primaries.
However, this time round, it’s not going to be an easy ride for Dr Tumwesigye’s re-election on NRM ticket.
Mr Kateshumbwa recently donated sanitary pads to girls, distributed food items to vulnerable families, and fenced the matooke market and gave Kiziba Muslim community a water tank.
While returning from the nomination exercise in Kampala on August 9, Mr Kateshumbwa made a triumphant entry into Sheema Municipality.
