NRM Buganda Vice Chairman Gets New Wheels For 2026 Campaign

Posted by: lukwago J in Uganda news August 11, 2021

Although NRM lost miserably in Buganda, the ruling NRM party has started a campaign to reclaim its lost grip on the region ahead of the forthcoming 2026 general election.

Buganda chairman Hon Suubi Godfrey Kiwanda has acquired new wheels with a special number plate Kisobooka as he transverses the entire Buganda starting with Bunananika.

Museveni’s performance in the previous election in Buganda is one that can be summed as dismal. He and party bigwigs including the Vice President and many other cabinet ministers lost miserably.

NRM party received a paltry 35% in the central region occupied by Buganda. Whereas NUP’s Kyagulanyi got 62.01% in results. Many said this was a message sent out to those in-charge.

NRM also managed to get only 31 out of the 105 parliamentary seats and 9 district chairpersons in Buganda region.

He noted that they lost because of discontent in Buganda in operations of government agencies and institutions towards members of the opposition.

He also noted the high poverty levels. Additionally, he said the NRM has since come up with initiatives to solve the problems.

“The campaign will sensitize people to know the difference between grain and seed in terms of government programs. And also link the population with government ministries and departments for better service delivery,” Kiwanda said.

Strategy

According to Kiwanda, the office of the party vice-chairperson for Buganda will coordinate the Kisoboka program. They will work together with the party Secretary-General in a bid to empower households to participate in sustainable development.

“They will do this both physically through showcasing of some of the success stories but also through media activations from time to time. The program shall run throughout the central region for the next five years unless requested by the Central Executive Committee to expand it to the entire country,” Kiwanda said.

He said the NRM party will fund the program. The government, NGOs, the business community, and other well-wishers will also chip in. This is in a bid to cause a positive change to communities in Buganda.
