The NRM Secretary General Richard Todwong has blasted the party MP losers who recently mooted a proposal to have the president voted by parliament.
Under the Transformer Cadres Association Uganda, the group led by Felix Adupa Ongwech who lost in the Kioga County MP election, the group last month told journalists that they have prepared several proposals that they want to present to the NRM national chairman for consideration.
Adupa told journalists that they have a proposal to amend electoral laws and other legislation to pave the way for a hybrid parliamentary system where the head of government who also doubles as the head of state is elected by parliament and local government councils.
However, speaking to another group of NRM parliamentary flag bearers who were attending their third general assembly at NRM Electoral Commission offices in Kampala, Todwong blasted the group led by Adupa as self-seekers.
He said these are acting contrary to the party rules and guidelines which may cause negative implications to the party.
The tough talking NRM Secretary General said that whereas the ideas are for these individual self-seekers, many members of the public have taken them to be the official party position whereas it is not true.
The NRM Secretary General warned those involved in antagonizing the party to stop before action is taken against them, noting that among the punishments that may be taken include dismissing them out of the party.
