The National Resistance Movement Electoral Commission says it is not aware of a resolution declaring President Museveni as the sole candidate in a race to determine who contests on behalf of the party in the 2016 presidential elections.
The position declared by the Commission's Chairperson, Odo Tanga has however angered the party's caucus in Parliament which allegedly fronted the sole candidate project.
Some Members of the caucus say the Commission as an organ of the party can not disown the February 2014 Kyankwanzi resolutions that among other endorsed Museveni as a sole candidate to contest on behalf of the party in the next elections.
Tanga reportedly declared the position while meeting the NRM Caucus to update it about the party's election road map to 2016 general elections.
According to a source who attended the meeting in Kampala, Tanga Odoi said as far as his commission was concerned, nobody had been declared as sole candidate for the party's presidential flag bearer race.
