MUBENDE, UGANDA – The National Unity Platform (NUP) Mubende Chapter has embarked on a mission to strengthen its grassroots in Kasambya, a county known for its strong support for the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party.
The move comes as youth elections are around the corner, and NUP leaders are determined to make inroads in the area.
Led by Kyeyune Pafuladito Bazirondere, the NUP Mubende Chapter chairperson and aspiring LC5 chairperson for Mubende district, a delegation of NUP leaders visited Kasambya on Saturday.
The team included prominent figures such as Ismael Ssegawa, also known as Sureman Ssegawa, who is vying for the Mubende municipality MP seat, Bob Richard Kyamanywa, also aspiring MP for Mubende municipality, East division mayor Kawuma Charles, and Sumayah Nabawanuka, among others.
During the visit, NUP leaders expressed gratitude to the party’s supporters in Kasambya for their resilience in the face of challenges from NRM supporters.
Some NUP youths had reportedly been denied access to youth registration lists, while NRM supporters were given access.
Kyeyune Pafuladito commended the Kasambya NUP leaders for their dedication and thanked the youths for standing firm in their quest for change.
Ismael Ssegawa encouraged the youths to present themselves well and to inspire others to join the struggle for a better Uganda.
The youths, in turn, requested NUP leaders to continue visiting their areas, citing the positive impact it would have on their mobilization efforts and recruitment of more members to the party.
This mobilization effort is part of NUP’s nationwide campaign to empower youths, persons with disabilities (PWDs), and the elderly at the village level to contest in the upcoming elections.
NUP leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, also known as Bobi Wine, has emphasized the importance of starting at the village level to take over power from the incumbent government, which has been in power for 39 years.
