Makerere Guild race: Sarah Aseru says she is not NRM though the father is

Makerere university Guild campaigns: The Uganda Young Democrats (UYD) candidate in the guild presidential race, Sarah Aseru has said she does not belong to NRM, though her father supports it.

Responding to a question from fellow candidate, independent Nicholas Nanyenya, at the Guild Presidential Candidates’ Debate at Makerere University Main Hall, Aseru said that though she has a relationship with NRM, she chose a different path.

“I have a relationship with NRM because I am a daughter to Minister Alex Onzima. That is what my father chose. For me, I did not choose NRM,” she said.
