Kampala attorney Jet Tumwebaze announced plans to contest the Mawogola North parliamentary seat against Sodo Aine Kaguta. The ruling National Resistance Movement selected Kaguta as their candidate after he faced no opposition during party primaries. Kaguta serves as President Museveni's brother and represents the established political order in Sembabule district.
Tumwebaze raised concerns about his opponent's communication abilities for legislative duties. He questioned whether someone with limited English proficiency could effectively participate in parliamentary proceedings. The challenger emphasized that representatives must engage with skilled debaters like Ssemujju, Ssegona and Abdul Katuntu during legislative sessions.
Sembabule district maintains a reputation for contentious electoral processes marked by violence and disorder. Political competition intensifies as Uganda approaches the 2026 general elections across multiple constituencies.
