The National Coordinator for Emyooga and PDM consultant for Eastern Region, Ritah Namuwenge, has officially joined the race for the Mbale City Woman Member of Parliament seat after expressing interest to contest under the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) ticket.
Namuwenge picked her nomination forms on Thursday from the NRM Electoral Commission offices in Kampala, joining a growing list of aspirants ahead of the party primaries slated for July 16, 2025.
While addressing journalists shortly, Namuwenge pledged to offer what she described as "inclusive and people-centered leadership."
She emphasized her commitment to engaging with all communities across the city to ensure their voices are heard and their needs addressed.
"I have come so we move together—village to village, parish to parish, and ghetto to ghetto—to ensure we win this election, have a strong voice in Parliament, and lobby for the transformation of Mbale City," she said.
Namuwenge also made a bold appeal to her competitors to step aside, stating that she is the most capable candidate to solve the challenges facing the people of Mbale City.
The NRM primaries are expected to be highly competitive as various hopefuls vie for the party’s endorsement ahead of the 2026 general elections.
