The seat she is after is currently held by a member of imprisoned opposition leader Kizza Besigye's party.

"By choosing to stand, she is exercising her democratic right," said Interior Minister Ruhakana Rugunda.

Mr Rugunda, who is also chair of the NRM's electoral commission, said the first lady had been nominated to take part in the NRM party's primary elections in which the parliamentary candidates will be selected

I am so HAPPY to learn that African women leaders are making great strides. Every country in Africa should work hard towards making women a part of their infrastructure.

Yeah, I can see the headlines now, "President Hilary Clinton; BUSTED WITH MALE PROSTITUTE IN THE OVAL OFFICE!!"

"PRES. CLINITON DESCRIBES HER ACTIONS AS NOT ORAL SEX, YET AN OLD TRADISHIONAL IRISH CLEANING METHOD CALLED O'GODOWNALD; TAUGHT TO HER BY HER GRANDMOTHER."

Social-structure.

Most Ugandans me inclusive still wonder why she doesn't leave politics alone & stick to charity services and still remain a darling to many as has been the case. I personally feel Ugs shall start lookin at it as wantin to turn the State House into a family thing, now that their own son is quickly rising in the army ranks at a rare speed; with the hope that he'll either head the army or even inherit the BIG seat of Mr. Museveni.
