Pastor Bugingo Aloysius of House of Prayer Ministries has encouraged his congregation to cast their votes for President Museveni in the upcoming 2026 general elections. Speaking at Canan Land during a Sunday service, Bugingo emphasized the importance of maintaining the current leadership to ensure continued freedom of worship in the country.
Bugingo highlighted the privileges enjoyed under Museveni’s administration, stating, “We have freedom of worship; we can praise and spend the whole night in our churches without any obstacles! Museveni should rule for many more years.” His remarks reflect a belief that stable leadership is crucial for the flourishing of faith communities.
In his sermon, Bugingo also criticized local authorities for their role in demolishing places of worship while allegedly protecting other religious shrines.
He remarked, “The fountain of honor can protect religious institutions, but an LC chairperson will order the demolition of a church! This is the environment we’re living in.” His comments underscore a perceived disconnect between national and local governance regarding the treatment of religious sites.
Future leadership aspirations
Looking ahead, Bugingo expressed support for General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, suggesting that followers should consider him as a potential leader after Museveni’s retirement. “I request you to vote for Gen Muhoozi after President Museveni retires,” he stated, indicating his belief in a continued legacy of leadership in the country.
In a bold statement, Pastor Bugingo declared his intention to pray for the downfall of leaders who threaten places of worship, reflecting deep concerns about the current climate for religious institutions.
His passionate plea resonates with many who feel that the sanctity of worship should be protected.
These statements come at a time when President Museveni faces criticism from opposition parties for engaging in early campaigning and for allegedly grooming his son as a potential successor.
Bugingo’s endorsement adds another layer to the evolving political landscape as the country approaches the general elections.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
