The race for youth leadership within Uganda’s ruling party has officially gained momentum with the declaration of candidacy by Ivan Ssemuddu, a respected figure in youth political circles. Ssemuddu has announced his intention to contest for the position of National Vice Chairperson of the NRM Youth League – Central Region for the 2025–2030 term.
Speaking to a group of supporters and youth leaders during a modest campaign launch, Ssemuddu expressed his commitment to championing a more responsive, united, and visionary youth leadership within the party.
“I come with a heart to serve, a vision to unite, and the experience to move us forward,” he said. “This is not about titles — it’s about responsibility, and the time has come for youth voices to be more than symbolic.”
Ssemuddu, who has spent years working at the grassroots level through mentorship programs and policy advocacy, brings a reputation for consistent engagement and principled leadership. His campaign message emphasizes **inclusion, community connection, and structured youth empowerment.
His declaration has stirred conversations within party youth circles, with many young members welcoming his candidacy as a sign of seriousness and credibility returning to the NRM Youth League leadership race in the Central Region.
Party insiders describe Ssemuddu’s move as timely, given the growing demand for transformative leadership among the youth — a demographic that forms the backbone of Uganda’s population and plays a critical role in shaping electoral outcomes.
The position of Vice Chairperson for Central Region is highly strategic, as the region remains a key political stronghold within the NRM’s national structure. Whoever takes the seat is expected to play a major role in organizing, mentoring, and voicing the priorities of young people.
As the NRM prepares for internal elections, Ssemuddu’s early declaration signals not just his readiness, but also a broader call for renewal and grounded leadership within the party’s youth ranks.
