President Museveni commended the spirit of unity and foresight demonstrated by the aspirants.“I have met with the candidates for the position of NRM Chairperson of the Entrepreneurs League. They have agreed to unconditionally endorse Al Hajj Hassan Basajjabalaba, who is now unopposed. First, I would like to thank Rt Hon.

I congratulate Al Hajj Basajjabalaba and commend the other candidates for their selfless act,” he said.
