SOROTI, UGANDA– As the National Resistance Movement (NRM) prepares for its internal elections, a groundswell of support is building across the Eastern Region for the incumbent Vice Chairman, Captain George Michael Mukula. From party stalwarts to local community beneficiaries, the consensus is clear: Mukula’s proven track record, unwavering loyalty, and transformative development initiatives make him the indispensable choice to continue steering the region's political future.
Acknowledged as a seasoned politician and a dedicated mobilizer, Captain Mukula’s tenure has been characterized by strategic leadership and a deep connection to the grassroots, qualities that supporters argue are vital for the region's continued progress.
A Legacy of Tangible Development
Beyond the political rhetoric, Mukula’s advocates point to concrete achievements. His influence and advocacy have been instrumental in channeling national development projects to the east.
"Look at the improved road infrastructure connecting our major towns, the upgrades to our health centers, and the support for our agricultural sectors," remarked Ms. Annet Amongin, a youth leader from Kumi. "Captain Mukula understands that politics is about improving people's lives. He doesn't just show up at election time; he is consistently engaged, listening to our challenges and working with the central government to find solutions."
His personal initiative, the "Mukula Foundation," is frequently cited for its work in healthcare, education scholarships, and poverty alleviation programs, demonstrating a commitment to development that transcends his official political role.
An Unwavering NRM Ideologue
In a political landscape that values loyalty, Mukula stands out as a steadfast pillar of the NRM. His deep understanding of the party's ideology and his ability to articulate and defend its principles have made him a crucial link between the grassroots and the party’s high command.
"Captain Mukula is more than a leader; he is a teacher of the NRM philosophy," said Hon. David Ochwa, a party registrar from Bukedea. "He has spent years building a strong, resilient party structure in the East. His experience is invaluable, especially in mobilizing support and ensuring the party's message resonates at every level. Retaining him is crucial for maintaining stability and unity as we move forward."
A Bridge Between Generations and Communities
Supporters highlight Mukula’s unique ability to connect with both the older generation, who respect his long history in the struggle, and the youth, who are inspired by his focus on entrepreneurship and modern economic opportunities.
"He has successfully bridged the gap between the traditional and the contemporary," noted Mr. Robert Egwau, a businessman from Soroti. "He respects our elders and cultural institutions while passionately creating space for young innovators and business people. This balance is essential for a diverse region like ours, and he manages it with grace and effectiveness."
The Case for Experience and Continuity
With critical national priorities on the horizon, many argue that the Eastern Region cannot afford a leadership change. Mukula’s extensive experience in both government and private sector, his established networks, and his familiar face are seen as assets that guarantee the region’s voice will be heard loudly and clearly in Kampala.
"Why replace a known achiever with an unknown experiment?" asked a group of NRM elders from Mbale in a joint statement. "Captain Mukula has already built the foundation. He has the relationships and the respect needed to attract more investment and development to our region. Continuity is not just safe; it is strategic."
As delegates prepare to make their decision, the campaign for Captain George Michael Mukula is built on a simple, powerful message: proven leadership, tangible results, and an unwavering commitment to the people of the East. For them, retaining him is not just a choic
