The proud chief muzzukulu and most hardworking Presidential Advisor on Political Affairs; Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo on Wednesday hosted NRM chairpersons in the Buganda Region at ONC office where a couple of matters were discussed.
In this meeting, the proud NRM leaders commended Namyalo for her wise leadership and instituting coordinators at regional and district levels, revealing that this has revived the NRM publicity that had started perishing, especially in Buganda.
”We are sure that in 2026 we shall scoop all votes in Buganda, you have done a tremendous job because now everyone knows what ONC does previously people didn’t know that there is something called ONC, thanks for being a workaholic muzzukulu and we are sure even Museveni must be appreciating your sacrifice and handwork,” said one of the Chairpersons.
The NRM leaders however reported to Namyalo that for long they have been ‘crying’ for vehicles to ease their job of hunting for Museveni’s support but also monitoring government programs and service delivery to the wanainchi.
Namyalo wondered about this noting that she was informed that money for the vehicles of chairpersons was released a long time ago, however, promised to follow up on the matter.
She hailed these Chairpersons for the mighty works they are doing for NRM as a party and its Chairman, encouraging them to work with ONC coordinators to ensure that Museveni re-captures Buganda which was swept away by the political waves of opposition.
The chief muzzukulu noted that her target is seeing her boss and ‘grandfather’ Jajja Museveni back on the ballot in 2026 something that thrilled these chairpersons and assured her that they are behind her to achieve this.
”Hajjat we shall surely work with you because we see you are on track, and you are not shaken by the negative wind of enemies, NRM surely needs people like you who stay committed and very loyal to our President. We have now found a new home because we can’t hide this, at Secretariat they do their own things without involving us and that’s why we have now decided to come and work with you,” added the Chairpersons.
Previous election data shows that voters in districts that make up Buganda or the Central region (Kampala inclusive) have constantly been voting more for NRM’s Museveni than any other candidate.
To illustrate this, in the 2001, 2006 and 2011 elections, the opposition whose candidate was Dr Kiiza Besigye, was only able to win one district; Kampala, in each of those elections.
In 2016, with the opposition’s performance against Museveni improving, Besigye was only able to win three districts; Wakiso, Masaka and of course Kampala with 59.97 percent, 50.69 percent and 65.93 percent respectively, of the votes cast.
In the 2021 elections, the battle for the heart and soul of Buganda was won by National Unity Platform (NUP) candidate, Kyagulanyi Robert Ssentamu, something NRM chairpersons with Namyalo feel shouldn’t happen again in 2026.
