Alebtong, Uganda – The Deputy Resident District Commissioner (RDC) of Alebtong, Mathias Lutwama, has on Monday 27th January 2025, officially launched a fresh NRM registration and update exercise, aimed at strengthening the party’s grassroots membership.
The event, held at the NRM District Headquarters, brought together Subcounty registrars from all 14 local government units in the district.
