“Atima Vows to Defeat Debo Again Should He Risk to Contest on Independent Ticket”
The chairman chamber of commerce Arua City and director of Rhema investments Dr. Debo Ronald cried fresh buckets of tears after the NRM Election Tribunal wrapped his petition and dumped it in a dustbin rendering it useless and shuttering his hopes to represent the voters of Arua Central city Division on NRM ticket for the parliamentary slot come 2026 general elections.
The NRM Elections Petition Tribunal finally dismissed the petition filed by Ronald Debo against Hon. Atima Jackson Lee Buti, the incumbent Member of Parliament for Arua City Central Division.
The tribunal found Debo’s petition to be baseless, lacking substantial evidence to support his allegations.
Debo had challenged Hon. Atima’s victory in the recent NRM primaries, but the tribunal’s decision confirmed Hon. Atima’s win.
Details about the specific grounds for the dismissal and the tribunal’s ruling are publicly available, but the outcome solidifies Hon. Atima’s position as the NRM flag bearer for the Arua City Central Division.
Hon. Atima has been a prominent figure in Ugandan politics, known for his efforts in improving infrastructure, healthcare, and economic opportunities in Arua City.
His victory in the recent NRM primaries sets him up for the general elections, where he will likely face opposition candidates.
The NRM Elections Petition Tribunal plays a crucial role in resolving disputes arising from the party’s primaries, ensuring fairness and transparency in the electoral process. With over 200 candidates challenging NRM primaries results, the tribunal’s decisions will significantly impact the party’s lineup for the upcoming general elections.
Reports from the corridors of Arua central city division indicated to this publication that Debo plans to contest on an independent ticket to try his luck again against the lion of Arua Atima Lee Jackson Buti.
However, Atima disclosed that he is ready to teach Debo the political lessons should he risk coming as a parliamentary independent candidate for Arua central city division for the year 2026 general elections.
