Having sensed humiliating defeat at the hands of better-resourced Calvin Echodu, a tearful Capt. Mike Mukula has finally chickened out of the CEC race.He has been NRM chairman for eastern region for 20 years and his exit means that Calvin Echodu is going to have a landslide win and join CEC.However, the other latest big news coming from Kololo where hundreds of delegates are voting, is that the hostility against Kayunga land grabber Moses Karangwa have intensified. He wants to become Buganda region party chairman and faces minister Haruna Kasolo in whose favor Godfrey Kiwanda, Eng. Sewava Mukasa Joseph and Hakim Kyeswa have withdrawn.There has been a lot of pressure on them to quit for Kasolo, from delegates who believe that Moses Karangwa must be stopped at all costs.The trio’s exit increases pressure on Moses Karangwa who has been dishing out Ugx20m per district to buy all the delegates’ votes.In total, he is estimated to have invested more than Ugx25BN in the full CEC race and many are wondering where he keeps getting such money from.However, Karangwa has continued facing growing criticisms because of land grabbing allegations, brutality and inability to work well with the leadership at Mengo, the seat of Buganda kingdom, where he is seen as a supporter and key enabler of rebel king Ssabanyara who keeps disputing Kabaka Mutebi’s leadership over the Kayunga-Bugerere area.
