In the ever-evolving political landscape of Uganda, few individuals have demonstrated unwavering loyalty, consistent service, and grassroots mobilization like Kyanika Rehema. As she seeks to ascend to the National Chairperson of the NRM Women’s League for the 2025–2030 term, many in the party and beyond are rallying behind her—not just as a candidate, but as a tested and trusted steward of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s vision.
Kyanika’s journey is not one of convenience or opportunism. It is a story of restless dedication, of traveling deep into rural Uganda to organize, educate, and empower women in the name of the National Resistance Movement. Through thick and thin, she has been a reliable torchbearer of NRM ideology, defending the party’s achievements and amplifying its message even when others retreated into silence.
For years, she has worked behind the scenes, mobilizing women, bridging communities, and building loyalty to the party from the grassroots up. Her work has not been about headlines or handshakes with elites—it has been about real lives, real struggles, and real impact.
“Kyanika has been one of the most dependable mobilizers for President Museveni in recent years,” says a senior NRM insider. “While others focused on appearances, she focused on outcomes.”
Her leadership style is refreshingly grounded—marked by listening, responding, and delivering. She has taken the party’s message to mothers, widows, single women, and young girls alike, explaining not just the why, but the how of the NRM’s transformative agenda. She has brought dignity to the party’s grassroots machinery, especially in the women’s wing, often working without fanfare or resources, but always with conviction.
Now, as the Women’s League prepares for a pivotal transition ahead of the 2026 elections, there is a growing consensus that the time to reward Rehema’s loyalty and labor is now.
She has not only stood with the President; she has moved with him. Her nomination is not just political—it is symbolic of what true commitment to the Movement looks like.
At a time when the NRM needs credible and energetic leaders to reinvigorate its structures and re-engage its base, especially among women and youth, Kyanika Rehema brings the perfect blend of experience, empathy, and execution.
Her mantra, “I Am, Because You Are,” speaks to her belief in collective progress, not personal glory. It reflects a woman who has lived for others, organized for others, and now seeks to lead for others.
In Kyanika Rehema, the NRM Women’s League has an opportunity to elevate not just a leader—but a living embodiment of the Movement’s spirit.
This is not just about electing someone to the Central Executive Committee. This is about honoring sacrifice, rewarding loyalty, and empowering a proven leader to carry forward the torch of women’s empowerment, party unity, and national transformation.
