NUP’s Lubwama Eyes Entebbe Municipality MP Seat

Stuart Lubwama has formally submitted his nomination forms to the National Unity Platform (NUP) for the Entebbe Municipality parliamentary ticket.

Lubwama expressed strong optimism about securing the party’s endorsement, setting his sights on unseating incumbent Michael Kakembo, who recently crossed to the newly formed Democratic Front.

He noted that the municipality is in urgent need of robust parliamentary representation.

“Entebbe deserves a powerful, dedicated voice in Parliament, one that truly represents the aspirations and challenges of its people,” Lubwama stated, underlining his commitment to the constituency. “My vision is clear: to ensure our community thrives and that every citizen has the opportunity to prosper.”

His campaign platform is anchored on several key areas designed to address pressing issues within Entebbe. 

A central tenet of his agenda is youth and women empowerment, which he views as fundamental to sustainable development. “Our youth and women are the backbone of our society. We must create avenues for their education, skills development, and economic independence,” he explained.

Environmental protection also features prominently in Lubwama’s priorities, acknowledging Entebbe’s unique lakeside geography. 

“The beauty and ecological balance of Entebbe is precious. We must implement robust measures to protect our environment, particularly Lake Victoria, for future generations,” he said.

He has also pledged to confront the pervasive issue of land grabbing that has affected numerous communities, restore order on Lake Victoria, among others.

He faces competition for the NUP ticket from fellow aspirants, including Robert Masaazi, Lillian Babirye, and Joyce Nabatta.
