Sempiira Edward has officially thrown his hat into the ring for the Buwekula South Member of Parliament seat in Mubende district, submitting his expression of interest forms to the National Unity Platform (NUP) offices at Kavule.
A native son of Buwekula South, Sempiira was born in Bwakago-Kirumbi, Kalonga sub-county. His decision to run for office comes after garnering support from community members who believe he is the best candidate to represent their interests.
Buwekula South has traditionally been represented by the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party.
However, Sempiira argues that the area needs change due to issues such as land grabbing, poor education, and inadequate healthcare facilities.
“Land grabbing is one of the problems our people face, being chased from land every day. Our education system is also unfavorable, and the health system is not up to par,” Sempiira said. “I know it’s not the MP’s job to construct roads, schools, and hospitals, but it’s their responsibility to oversee service delivery. Our leaders have failed to do so, resulting in poor services.”
Sempiira expressed confidence in his ability to challenge NRM candidates, including incumbent MP Museveni William Ndori, and other contenders Dedan Mubangizi and Fred Tumwesigye.
The Buwekula South MP race is shaping up to be competitive, with Sempiira determined to offer an alternative to the NRM’s long-standing representation.
Under the NUP banner, Sempiira aims to bring about change and improve the lives of Buwekula South residents.
