Bashebah Dorcus Kirabo, known as Mama D, wants to become the next Member of Parliament for Kira Municipality in Uganda. She plans to run as an independent candidate against Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda during the 2026 elections. Mama D became famous last year when she cooked for a record-breaking time. Her announcement came through an official statement released Sunday.
She aims to bring change through empowerment, economic growth, and social projects. Mama D told Kira residents she feels honored to step forward as their potential representative. Her campaign focuses on serving the community and creating better opportunities. She believes her leadership can make Kira Municipality thrive.
Mama D shot to fame on December 23, 2023, when she started her cooking challenge at Zoe's Cakes 'n' Bites in Kira. She wanted to beat the previous record of 119 hours and 57 minutes held by Irish chef Alan Fisher. Her dedication paid off as she successfully earned her place in the Guinness World Records. Many people celebrated her achievement across Uganda and beyond.
Her campaign carries the message "A Stronger Kira – Feeding Hope, Shaping the Future." She asks supporters to help through donations, volunteer work, or spreading her message. Mama D believes every contribution matters in building a better community. She invites everyone to join her movement for positive change.
The upcoming race promises to draw significant attention from voters and political watchers. Ssemujju Nganda has served as Kira Municipality representative since 2011. He earned his reputation as a strong opposition voice and former spokesperson for the Forum for Democratic Change party. His experience and criticism of government policies have built him a loyal supporter base.
Mama D brings fresh energy to the political scene with her international recognition and community connections. Unlike traditional politicians, she emphasizes unity and progress rather than partisan politics. Her growing popularity among residents makes her a serious challenger to the established incumbent. The 2026 contest will test whether her unique background can translate into political success.
