On Tuesday, Malende immediately turned her attention to the impending contest for the NUP flag for the Kampala Woman MP position, taking veiled aim at her main contender, Zahrah Luyirika, the current Speaker of KCCA.
The two prominent female politicians are currently locked in a fierce contest for the position of Second National Vice Chairperson (Female) on the NRM Central Executive Committee (CEC).
Mamdani, who was born and raised in Kampala and lived here until the age of five, stated, "I’m going back to Uganda. I’m headed there in a personal capacity to celebrate Rama and I’s marriage with our family and friends.”
In the clip, which went viral, Mrs Nambi, daughter of NRM stalwart Al Hajj Moses Kigongo, is visibly awestruck, meeting then charting musician, Bobi Wine, in the ghettos of Kamwokya.
In a gracious concession speech, Kagabo confirmed that he is taking a break from elective politics and will not seek election as an independent candidate in 2026.
The specifics of Malende's medical condition remain unclear, though doctors have expressed concerns regarding low blood pressure, insufficient oxygen supply, and potential effects on her heart and other organs.
On Monday, the president chastised voters in Kampala and Central Uganda for orchestrating their own struggle by constantly electing opposition leaders who “don’t care about you.”
The opposition leader admitted at the launch that his party was falling behind the ruling NRM party and President Museveni in preparations for the 2026 elections, so much so that they could not even afford printing campaign posters.
Lukwago, who is also the president of the newly formed People’s Front for Freedom (PFF), admitted that he had considered entering the presidential race as far back as 2011 but deferred to stronger candidates at the time.
His presence in the legislative chambers came as a surprise to many, given that his victory in the March by-election had been nullified by the High Court on May 26.
Musherure, the current area MP, said in a public statement that she agreed to step down following a meeting called by President Museveni and further consultations with her family.
NRM’s sweeping success in these grassroots elections has been met with skepticism from elements within the opposition, who argue that the results are not significant.
Museveni, whose State House donations budget now stands at Shs 140.8billion, said he, as President of Uganda, has a budget provided to him for donating to Ugandans, which MPs do not have.
