By closure of the Presidential nominations today, the Uganda Electoral Commission had registered eight Presidential candidates (7 male, 1 female). Each one of them entered the scene in a unique way. Most interesting to me was the incumbent, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, whose campaign team seems to have already demonstrated their understanding of the electorate demographics and putting it to good use.
The demographics of the electorate in Uganda shows that the numbers are tilted towards the youth no wonder General Y.K. Museveni, on the eve of his nomination, honoured their invitation to an evening of fun not only by his presence but also by doing the unprecedented. He sang a RAP song to the delight of the youth. Talk about ‘touching base’ with the audience (read electorate).
We await to see what the other campaign teams will offer (in form of strategy) in this 2011 Uganda Presidential elections but for now Kudos to M7 and his campaign team. The youth would say, big ups. Follow these links to the audio and video versions of the song.
