This may not really be surprising because of his fame on Twitter due to his candid talk on issues. Kanyomozi is a known critic of the ruling party and he openly supports NUP’s Bobi Wine.
As soon as he was announced winner, some Ugandans started anticipating that Twitter is on its way to being shut down. This place had three other contestants but obviously, Patrick was too much for them.
He won with 69%, the second and third place had 11% while the fourth had 9%. Earlier on, Samson Kasumba was a part of this contest.
However, he declined the offer because it was done against his will. Definitely, many people on Twitter questioned why he did so. These two, Patrick Kanyomozi and Samson Kasumba are twitter rivals.
This is because of their different opinions on a lot of things to do with the governance of the country. Otherwise, they have always trolled each other on Twitter.
Asan Kasingye, AIGP has been the UOT president since July 2019. This position gets a new president every after two years. Now that Asan’s reign has come to an end, we are hoping to see a handover from him to Kanyomozi.
Kanyomozi won this vote due to his flamboyance in speech. He speaks a language that most people on Twitter understand and concur with. Let’s see how it goes for him.

![[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.
