Bunyoro's Joseph Kabuleta former sports journalist declares to contest for presidency come 2021.
The journalist turned pastor said Wednesday, in his letter dated July 1, 2020 and addressed to the chairperson of the EC, Justice Simon Byabakama that he’s seeking permission to embark on holding nation-wide consultations.
"This is to notify you that, in accordance with the Presidential Elections Act 2005, our client intends to carry out nation-wide consultations. In his consultations across the country, he intends to hold meetings with religious leaders, security agencies, pressure groups, political parties, public, intellectuals, academia, civil society organizations, business community and other citizens of Uganda," Mr Kabuleta's lawyers of Walyemera & Co. Advocates wrote to EC.
The letter adds: "This is to facilitate his preparedness for nomination as presidential candidate for the 2020/21 general elections."
Kabuleta's lawyers also appealed the EC to stand its ground as an independent government body to allow their client carries out his country wide consultations without any interferences by what he described overzealous regime agents.
