Uganda Golf Club (UGC) has elected a new captain as Ocero Okello won the top seat with a margin of 39 votes in polls, local media reported on Saturday. Okello, who has been a member of the club for 28 years, beat Sam Nahamya by 100-61 votes in polls held during the club's annual general assembly on Thursday. According to the state-owned Saturday Vision, outgoing vice Emmanuel Wamala pulled out of the hot race on the eve of the elections, leaving Nahamya and Ocero to battle. It was Nahamy's second defeat, having lost to outgoing captain Joel Okullo. Paul Karemera, a secretary in the outgoing committee, bounced back as vice captain. Karemera beat John Mwalimu, who did not campaign, by 101 to 61 votes in the assembly that saw senior members sweep three of the four positions. Jack Karyarugoogwe beat youthful Sabiiti Bageine to the post of secretary. Magala Nyago is the treasurer. Five committee members will join the team.
