The campaign brought together NRM leaders, local party structures and residents, with the ruling party seeking to reclaim the parliamentary seat previously held by the National Unity Platform (NUP).

Leading the mobilisation exercise was NRM Vice Chairperson for the Buganda Region and Minister of State for Regional Cooperation, Haruna Kasolo, who expressed confidence that the party would win the election.

“We are fully committed to ensuring that the NRM candidate wins this election. Our focus is on reaching every voter and communicating the party’s development agenda to the people of Kalangala,” Kasolo said while addressing supporters.

The mobilisation campaign, coordinated by Bujumba Sub-county NRM Chairperson John Mike Yiga, covered villages including Kagoonya, Kivunza, Bunyama and Kisujju, where party leaders held community meetings and conducted door-to-door engagements.

Yiga said the party remains optimistic about its chances, arguing that residents want stronger representation and effective advocacy for development projects.

“NRM has a clear vision for the development of Kalangala. We believe the people understand the importance of having leaders who can effectively engage government and advocate for critical services and infrastructure projects,” he said.
