The revelation was made by the Minister of Presidency Hon. Esther Mbayo, who also hinted about the heads of State that had been invited to grace the ceremony.

“Each district will be represented by 17 people, including the District Executive Committee members of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), the District LCV Chairperson and CAO.” An Organizer told The Ugandan Wire.
The organizers further intimated that only MPs elects for the 11th Parliament shall be invited.
