Nakandi rallies Nakawa West, says it’s time for a woman’s turn

The MP race in Nakawa West is heating up, and DF party candidate Winifred Nakandi is hitting the streets hard. She is the lone woman running against a bunch of guys for that seat. Her recent campaign push had her rolling through Luzira and Mutungo with a whole crew, a line of cars, and boda boda riders, while her people waved around tree branches, which is the symbol for the Democratic Front.

She is making a direct pitch to voters at these stops, telling them to put their faith in her. Nakandi is asking people to mark their ballots for her when the general election happens, specifically naming the date. Her promises focus on launching programs to fight poverty, with extra attention on helping women and local communities get more power. People at these events are talking her up, saying they trust her approach and like her focus on keeping things peaceful and inclusive for everyone.

With a lot of time still left before anyone votes, Nakandi is just trying to stay out there and keep talking to people across the constituency. The whole situation is sparking bigger conversations about getting more women into political office and how much this kind of direct, neighborhood-level campaigning really matters for winning.
