The political season is here and the period presents an opportunity for new leaders to emerge and take up the responsibility of forging a future for Uganda, but also offers voters a once-in-five years opportunity, to shuffle the leadership in search for better choices.
A hopeful Member of Parliament from Igara West has already thrown his hat into the arena of politics. He calls himself “Hon. Gwangamujje” and his eyes are on Igara West Constituency, in Bushenyi District. Currently, Igara West constituency is represented by Hon Mbwa Tekamwa who has since publicly declared that he won’t seek re-election there, giving Hon Gwangamujje the right to brag how he has “chased the Mbwa” from Igara West.
Nimwesiga Dan Mbaasa prides in being a Voice to the voiceless and his slogan is; ‘Ntuma nyoowe, nkuhukkize ebyawe’
A jolly gentleman still in youthful age is not short of words; and he was quick to share his aspirations highlighting his passion for empowering the Youths, the Elderly, as well as Men and Women in the Igara west Community.
He had finished picking nomination forms to contest on the National Resistance Movement (NRM) ticket in 2026, when we caught up with him.
“Beloved Ugandans and specifically the residents in Igara West Constituency, I am extremely honored and humbled to share with you my brief biography and political manifesto” he noted while loosening of his crimson necktie hanging on a yellow NRM branded shirt.
WHO ARE YOU?
“I am NIMWESIGA DAN MBASA a.k.a GGWANGA MUJJE I have already chased Hon Mbwa and I am the next MP for Igara West.”
And he continues…
I was born and raised in Igara West Constituency by Mr & Mrs Richard Mbasa on 16th of Feb 1987 (38yrs of age) in the village of Rubuzagye, in Kabingo Parish, Kyamuhunga Sub-County in Bushenyi District. I am a dedicated and experienced leader right from my school time to date, and a family person who understands the importance of community and the need for effective representation.
