Top army officer’s son Alexander Saleh in tight race with Dr. Kisembo Diini to unseat Matayo Kyaligonza in NRM western region vice chairperson race

By Reporter

Each day unvails a new leadership captain hopeful and the latest is Alexander Akandwanaho Saleh, son to top and feared army officer Salim Saleh who made his intentions clear yesterday. Alexander aims to take over as western Uganda NRM vice chairperson a seat long eyed by a one Kisembo Diini who made his intentions earlier and has been doing ground work in the region. Alexander’s intention are a big shock to Kisembo who was in an almost one man race.

While the latter’s manifesto has not been laid out yet, Kisembo has a 10 point program that has emphasised the youth Secretariat section where he aims at empowering the youth in the region and eventually all over the country.

Kisembo has stuck to his youth Secretariat thinking that will decentralise the youth structures and bring them regional. “We want to bring services closer to the youth by bringing them regional starting with western where I will base and it can spread, North, Eastern, Central and Karamoja regions” he told the website. The youth believe in youth delivering because their problems relate more unlike before when we had older people representing us, he added.

“We want the young people to denounce pressure groups” he stresses. While we wait for Alexander to lay out his plan, atleast we have Kisembo slightly more elaborate.
