Maxwell Kuwembula Mugude died when his car hit a sugarcane truck early Thursday morning. The Kamuli District leader crashed around 4:40 am on the Kayunga-Galiraya road near Nakifuma. Police spokesman Patrick Onyango confirmed the accident happened between two vehicles. Kuwembula drove a Pajero that smashed into the larger truck. Nobody knows if other people rode with him during the deadly crash.

The district chairman was traveling to Kampala for political business when he died. He wanted to collect nomination papers from the ruling party offices. The National Resistance Movement planned to hold primary elections next month ahead of national voting in 2026. Kuwembula hoped to run for the same district job he already held. The 2021 winner was driving himself to the capital city that morning.

Uganda struggles with deadly road accidents that kill many people each year. Police reports show crashes jumped 16 percent from 2022 to 2023. The country recorded over 23,000 accidents during the recent year. Traffic deaths continue rising across the nation. Kuwembula joins thousands of other victims who lost their lives on dangerous roads.
