Ugandans urged to Demand for Leadership Change and Prepare for a Tough Electoral Battle

Kira Municipality MP, Hon. Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda, has called on Ugandans to take a stand and demand their rights and leadership change. He voiced concerns about the concentration of power within one family, with President Museveni leading the country, his son in charge of the military, and his wife managing the Ministry of Education.

Ssemujju argued that meaningful change won’t be achieved through elections alone. He referenced examples from nations like Sudan and Egypt, stating, “Unless we, as Ugandans, rise to the challenge like these countries have, we will continue to face manipulated elections.”

He criticized Uganda’s electoral system, claiming it has never been free or fair, with the military playing a significant role in influencing outcomes. Reflecting on past elections, Ssemujju noted that the process is often undermined, leaving citizens doubtful of its credibility.

As the country approaches the next election cycle, he warned that Ugandans should brace for a difficult journey ahead. “Anyone expecting a free and fair election must understand we are heading into a battle,” Ssemujju said, encouraging the public to be ready for the obstacles they may face.
