Moses Kigongo addressed National Resistance Movement supporters in Rukungiri District about maintaining party solidarity. The NRM National Vice Chairman warned against internal divisions that could damage electoral prospects in 2026. His remarks came during a Friday reconciliation event between Security Minister Jim Muhwezi and political rival Frank Rukanirwa at the Riverside Hotel. Kigongo emphasized that unity would determine the party's survival and success in the upcoming elections. He called for principled politics rather than selfish behavior among members.
Minister Muhwezi stressed cooperation as essential for regional development progress. He compared successful teamwork to ants building anthills through collaboration. The minister thanked Rukanirwa for agreeing to reconcile and promised continued service despite approaching his final term. Rukanirwa abandoned his independent candidacy plans to prevent party fragmentation. The reconciliation followed tensions after the July primaries, where Muhwezi defeated Rukanirwa for the Rujumbura County position.
