The Uganda National Examinations Board has unveiled a plan to help aspiring political candidates, get through the electoral roadmap faster.

In a statement signed by Dan Odongo the institutions Executive Secretary, the national examiner says a candidate with an A-level certificate obtained in Uganda or higher qualifications will not be required to obtain verification for their qualification by the National Council of Higher for Education.

“However, in the case of those who may have lost their certificates, UNEB will issue Letters of Verification upon application by the aspirant”, reads the statement.

The verification is required to qualify to stand for public office in general elections.

Similarly, those with original certificates obtained from the national examiner do not need to report to the Uganda National Examinations Board for verification.

The statement further advises those wishing to equate qualifications obtained from Uganda or outside Uganda to the level of Advanced Certificate for purposes of the 2020/2021 elections to submit their applications for equating to the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) as the law provides.
