Security personnel, mainly from the Special Forces
Command-SFC and regular police have lined up along the Kampala-Entebbe highway, from the areas of Katabi to the main entrance of State House, where the legislators are due to meet.
The much-anticipated caucus meeting
will commence after the Central Executive Committee-CEC concludes
the vetting process for both positions early today. Although CEC had
reached a consensus on Saturday, sources say that one of the candidates
requested that
the matter is moved to Sunday.
The NRM has at least 337 of the 529 members of the eleventh parliament.
In the same house, there are 73 independent candidates, 43 of whom
initially belonged to the ruling party, and fell off after losing the
party primaries.
The MPs were taken to State House in buses, that they
boarded from Kololo Independence grounds as a way of decongesting the parking
yards at State House. By press time, they were seated under tents erected in the gardens, waiting for the Central Executive Commitee to conclude its sessions.
