Buwekula South Braces for Heated NRM Primaries as Dedan Mubangizi is nominated
The Buwekula South parliamentary race under the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) is headed for a highly contested showdown following the official nomination of the long time caretaker of the Area Dedan Mubangizi to compete in the party primaries.
Dedan was on Wednesday afternoon formally nominated by the NRM Electoral Commission Chairperson, Dr. Tanga Odoi, at the party headquarters in Kampala.
Odoi congratulated him upon fulfilling the requirements to participate in the internal electoral process.
Speaking shortly after his nomination, Mubangizi said his decision to contest was driven by a desire to be actively involved in national decision-making and to address longstanding service delivery gaps in his constituency.
“Our health centres and hospitals lack essential medicine. The roads are in a poor state—though some work is being done, they remain murram roads instead of tarmac. I believe I am the right person to push for real improvement.”
Dedan’s entry sets the stage for a dramatic face-off with incumbent MP Museveni Williams Ndoori, who defeated Fred Mwesigye in the court of Appeal after a heated contest to secure the Buwekula South seat in the 2021 general elections.
