President Museveni's brother has made his move for a bigger political role ahead of Uganda's 2026 elections. Sedrack Nuwomugisha Kaguta grabbed official forms from the ruling party headquarters on Tuesday to run for vice chairman of the western region. The ambitious politician has controlled Kiruhura District for the National Resistance Movement party for nearly two decades. He boasts about delivering almost perfect vote results four separate times for his political family. Nuwomugisha believes his winning record makes him the perfect candidate to lead the entire western area.
The seasoned politician wants to stop leaders from using religion and tribal differences to divide voters. He promises to bring all western Uganda communities together under one strong movement. Nuwomugisha says some politicians manipulate people through their beliefs and backgrounds instead of focusing on real issues. His campaign centers around serving every Ugandan regardless of their political views or personal identity. The candidate argues that sharing party positions among different members creates better results for everyone.
Doctor Chris Baryomunsi currently holds the western vice chairman spot and works as a government minister. Michael Mawanda also jumped into the race for the same powerful position on Tuesday. Mawanda has different plans for his potential role on the party's top decision-making team. The lawmaker wants to discuss how President Museveni might hand over power to his son General Muhoozi Kainerugaba. Political observers expect a heated contest between these three candidates as election season approaches.
