"NRM is Going to Win the Kawempe North By-Election, Nalukoola is Weak on Ground" - Musila
The political atmosphere surrounding the upcoming Kawempe North by-election is intensifying, with various leaders sharing their perspectives on the potential outcome and what it could signify for Uganda's 2026 general elections.
Hon. Mubarak Munyagwa, a political figure, raised concerns about the opposition’s divided front in Kawempe North. He described the area as a stronghold for the opposition in Kampala, calling it the "axis of the resistance."
Munyagwa suggested that a victory for the National Resistance Movement (NRM) in this by-election would be a significant blow to the opposition, warning that it could send an unsettling message ahead of the 2026 elections.
Munyagwa pointed out the fragmented opposition as one of the key challenges, noting the presence of multiple opposition candidates competing for the Kawempe North seat.
He argued that this division weakens their chances, saying, “The opposition should have coordinated to field one candidate, but now we have several, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Hon. Abed Bwanika also commented on the internal division in NUP, referring to Moses Nsereko’s self-declaration as the people’s aspirant while NUP’s Luyimbazi Nalukoola represents the party’s official candidate. Bwanika called it a strong statement, suggesting that the internal division could not be overlooked.
Hon. Musila John expressed confidence in the NRM’s chances of victory, stating that NUP’s candidate, Luyimbazi Nalukoola, lacked the strength on the ground to effectively challenge the NRM.
This viewpoint was supported by Hon. Bumali Mpindi, who warned against underestimating the NRM’s flagbearer, Faridah Nambi. Mpindi described Nambi as highly capable and a strong contender in the race.
Munyagwa compared the opposition’s disunity to "kobs fighting each other while the lion prepares to attack them." He suggested that a fragmented opposition could leave the NRM in a strong position to take advantage of these divisions.
