UGANDANS MUST GET A SPECIAL MP FROM A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. ………………………………………………………………………………………. As Ugandans, we are proposing more representation of the Runner-Up Presidential Candidate in Parliament. The current position as provided for under the current electoral laws in Uganda do not provide for any framework for the representation of the runner-up presidential candidate in the parliament despite the significant vote margins that some of them attain after a presidential election. As a citizen agency, we propose that through Article 78 (2) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, parliament reviews the composition of parliament with a view of creating a provision for the runner-up presidential candidate who has obtained a minimum threshold of one third of the total valid votes cast in a presidential election to be represented as an ex-officio in parliament. The proposal seeks to redefine new national benchmarks as regards to representation in parliament by a nationally, representative alternative voice. This proposal will serve to deepen representative governance. This is part of the consultation we are making prior we argument it further to the rest of the Ugandans. Make your say as Ugandans. I pray that we discuss without sentiments and focus on the future of our generations to come as well.
