A massive political ego just got absolutely deflated when voters revolted. Mathias Mpuuga watched his parliamentary career dissolve after Lubowa Ssebina Gyaviira snatched the Nyendo-Mukungwe constituency for the National Unity Platform. This defeat concludes a messy chapter where the Democratic Front boss tried fighting his old crew but failed miserably.
Bad blood started when Mpuuga and some commissioners grabbed over a billion shillings as a service bonus. He pocketed five hundred million, which triggered Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu to demand a refund and apology. Mpuuga refused to back down or quit the commissioner role, which caused a permanent split.
His circle crumbled alongside him. Medard Lubega Ssegona failed to keep Busiro East against Emmanuel Magoola despite begging for the ticket he previously held. Abed Bwanika also crashed out in Kimanya-Kabonera when Patrick Kuteesa swept the polls for the opposition giant.
Gyaviira mentioned the struggle was intense because officials delayed the announcement for two full days. Kuteesa expressed gratitude to the residents for trusting him with the mandate. Meanwhile, Trace Nalubowa secured the Masaka City Woman slot after beating Justine Nameere.
Geoffrey Lutaaya screamed about rigging in Kakuuto. He claimed security agents stole his win and accused Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo of orchestrating the theft. The Minister shot back that he never stepped foot in that specific area during the chaos.
The opposition wave continued elsewhere in the region. Joan Namutaawe took the Masaka District Woman seat while Richard Ssebamala won Bukoto Central for the Democratic Party. Sarah Babirye Kityo managed a victory for the government side in Bukoto East.
