Ssemujju Dominates Kira Race as 2026 Buganda MP Preferences Emerge

As Uganda edges closer to the 2026 general elections, a new voter survey reveals strong support for incumbent Kira Municipality MP Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda, who commands a commanding lead among his constituents.

According to the poll, a striking 83.7% of sampled voters in Kira said they would re-elect the People’s Front for Freedom spokesperson if elections were held today.

The figure underscores Ssemujju’s continued popularity and suggests a tight grip on his political base in Buganda.

The survey, conducted across key urban constituencies, aimed to gauge voter sentiment ahead of a highly anticipated election season. Respondents cited Ssemujju’s consistent activism, bold parliamentary voice, and accessibility as major reasons for their support.

The report also reflects growing political clarity among urban voters, with many already decided on their preferred candidates over a year before voting.

Analysts say the early trends could influence alliances and campaign strategies, especially in opposition-leaning constituencies like Kira.
