The Kisoro United Boda Boda Electoral Committee has urged all registered members of KUBO to participate in their general elections scheduled for July 31, 2024, in Kisoro Municipality.
This announcement was made by Nkurunziza Wilber, Chairperson of the Electoral Commission for Kisoro United Boda Boda, as the nomination period is set to close today, July 23, 2024. Nominations began on Monday and are concluding today.
Wilber stated that only members who have been part of the association for at least four years and possess a Senior Four certificate are eligible to run in the 2024 general elections. Approximately 7,000 members are expected to cast their votes.
He also emphasized that any candidate who violates the association’s code of conduct will face substantial fines.
Karangala Robert, who is running for the position of Chairperson of Kisoro United Boda Boda Association, expressed his readiness to continue his projects and appealed to his constituents for their votes. As the current Chairperson of KUBO, Karangala urged boda boda members to avoid speeding during the campaign period to prevent accidents.
In contrast, his opponent, Mwunvaneza Amos Vian, has called for the current Chairperson to step down, citing dissatisfaction with his long tenure and certain developments that did not meet members’ expectations.
Meanwhile, several nominees announced their manifestos today, promising to work diligently to advance the boda boda sector. Notable nominations include Batamukoraho Baker for General Secretary, Ndayishimye Derrick for General Secretary, Mukiza Julius for Defense, and Serubeni Michael for Publicity, among others.
By press time, over 10 members had been nominated for various positions.
