“At the 92nd FUFA Ordinary Assembly in Luwero, the FUFA Electoral Committee was endorsed. I am part of the committee as mandated by the FUFA Constitution to oversee the activities and also assist in the logistical area. The committee is independent and competent enough to execute all their activities without interference to the best of their abilities. The FUFA elective assembly shall be held on 5th August 2017 in Masindi starting at 9 a.m” Watson told the media.

Addressing the media at the first official press conference as the FUFA Electoral Committee chairperson, Sam Bakiika, who was flanked by all the members on the committee vowed to work diligently for a free and fair electoral process.

“We have already started the road map for a successful electoral process that will lead to the eventual elections in August 2017. This is a process and not a one off event with a series of activities lined up. We have trained the polling assistants and other officials in all the districts of the country. The first task we undertook was to first ascertain the number of districts with active football leagues where we trained all the leaders. This will be a very transparent, free and fair electoral process” Bakiika noted.
