Mike Mukula, also NRM National Vice Chairperson for Eastern Region and Sanjay Tanna, a business mogul and NRM Mobilizer fell out. For starters, Sanjay Tanna is former Member of Parliament Tororo Municipality (2011-2016.) He is also a leading businessman with many businesses in Eastern Uganda and contested against Mukula for the NRM National Vice Chairperson for Eastern Region in 2021. The contest for regional NRM Vice Chair was a grueling one and brought out many undertones with Mukula resorting to the racial card calling Tanna \u2018Muyindi\u2019 who should not have any room in the internal politics of Uganda. Despite the racial card, Tanna won by a landslide in Eastern Uganda with his voters celebrating \u2018an outright victory\u2019 as early as 5:00 PM that day. The results for the Eastern Uganda post were eventually the last to be announced 12 hours later with Mukula declared winner against protestations from many who saw it as an \u2018outright rigging of results.\u2019 \u201cHe (Tanna) alleged that the NRM electoral commission and Mr Mukula doctored the results, releasing them 12 hours after all the rest of the results across the country had been released.\u201d This is an excerpt from Daily Monitor Many people may therefore believe that the campaigns for the NRM Regional Chair Eastern and declaration of Mukula as winner is genesis of this fallout. To the contrary, Tanna\u2019s decision to contest against Mukula\u2019s position instead of reclaiming his Tororo Municipality seat was the first public show that something terrible had happened to the political love affair between Mukula and Tanna. BACKGROUND While representing Tororo Municipality, Tanna generally sided with the Iteso in their quest for a separate district that would have its headquarters in Tororo Municipality, something that had the Japadhola swearing death. Incidentally, most meetings called by Iteso leaders to strategize on how the Tororo Iteso could achieve their dreams were chaired by Mukula as the NRM Regional Vice Chairman Eastern and Tanna regularly attended them. In other words, at the time, the two were friends working for the same interests. Furthermore, during the 2016 race for the regional NRM Vice Chair, Tanna campaigned for his buddy, Mike Mukula against stiff competition from the likes of Balyeku in Namboole. And Mukula won thereby retaining his seat. So when did the bad blood start? Shortly after the Namboole elections, general elections followed with Tanna showing interest to retain his Tororo Municipality seat. The politics at Tororo Municipality was so polarized that there was a candidate for the Iteso and another for the Japhadola. Tanna presented himself as the pro-Iteso candidate and Apollo Yeri Ofwono was fronted as the Japhadola candidate. Here is when Mukula turns against Tanna (Candidate for Iteso) and supports ofwono (Candidate for the Japhadola). Our Intelligence members from Tororo Municipality say Mukula conspired with Tanga Odoi to rig out Tanna in the NRM Primaries. For that reason, Tanna went ahead to contest as an Independent but NRM leaning candidate. The events that followed only worked to make the hitherto friendly working relationship between the two worse and bordering irreconcilable limits. This is when Mukula disrupted Tanna\u2019s after nomination rally at Tororo Lions Children Park in the last minute. Tanna had booked and paid for the venue but Mukula, Tanga and company used police to disperse the Tanna crowd and instead brought in Ofwono supporters with Bebe Cool. In fact that day, Mukula flew in a chopper effectively scattering Tanna procession. The team also discovered that the Mukula team did not stop at disrupting the Children\u2019s Lions Club rally but also frustrated Tanna\u2019s attempts at relocating his rally to St. George 1V Stadium. \u201cGeoffrey Emokol Opua, the Mayor Tororo Municipality said it was unfair for Ofwono to insist on the same venue knowing very well Tana had cleared all financial requirements for the venue for two days with the Municipal council. Emokol said he was shocked that Ofwono \u2018 s actions were not only provocative but inciting arguing that they were several other venues he could held his rallies such as the municipal stadium, Municipal gardens, police grounds, Elgon view ground among others.\u201d This is an excerpt from the Redpepper of 2010. From that day, all Mukula\u2019s utterances are against Tanna, needless to say, in his recent attack against the Vice President, Mukula singled out Tanna\u2019s involvement in NRM\u2019s Ariko win in the Soroti City East MP by-election. Mukula\u2019s obsession with Tanna is premised on his fear that Tanna \u2018has become too big.\u2019 ENTER NRM National Vice Chairperson for Eastern Region 2021 Race Prior to the 2021 general elections, there was high expectation that Tanna was getting back to reclaim his Tororo Municipality Seat and it was not misconceived; Tanna was seen regularly mobilizing and being closer to his voters than before. However, he made a turnaround after research he carried out indicated that Mukula was very unpopular in the Eastern region including Teso sub region. He was also pushed on by many politicians that Mukula has fought in the region, and he took the decision. \u201cThat decision shook Mukula to the marrow and instead of calling Tanna for a talk, he instead resorted to threatening the latter saying he had been in this \u2018thing\u2019 for a long time and would deal with Tanna,\u201d an Insider privy to events shortly before nominations for the CEC members told this team. Around the same time, the now Minister of State for Fisheries, Hellen Adoa was crying her eyes out saying Mukula was campaigning for and facilitating her opponent, a one independent Woman MP Aspirant, Akiror Irene Suzan. Adoa then said she evidence that Mukula met her opponent at his Maroon quarters in Senior Quarters Soroti City and gave her Shs7millon In Katakwi, Mukula was also not Seeing Eye to eye with Jessica Alupo then contesting to reclaim her seat. Indeed, in what was seen as the internal machinations..."}
