Daniel Kidega just scored another term as the NRM Vice Chairperson for Northern Uganda. Party leaders picked him to keep running the show up north. The ruling party wants to lock down their power base before the next election battle begins. Kidega has been climbing the political ladder since his teenage years. His long track record with the NRM makes him their go-to guy for the region.
The politician started out with the National Youth Council when he was just a kid. He worked his way up to the East African Legislative Assembly where he became Speaker. Kidega spent decades proving his loyalty to President Museveni and the ruling party. His steady rise through different government positions caught the attention of party bigwigs. The NRM leadership trusts him to deliver votes when election time comes around.
Kidega says the party needs better organization to win the upcoming presidential race. He wants to spread NRM influence into every corner of Uganda. The northern region must deliver development projects that people can actually see and feel. Opposition parties have been gaining ground in some areas that used to support the ruling party. Kidega plans to rally supporters and expand the party footprint where rivals have been making moves.
