"I Did Not Seek For Political Support Or An Allience With FDC'S Nandala Mafabi For My 2026 Candidature"-Sironko NRM Woman MP, Nabulo Refutes

The Sironko District National Resistance Movement (NRM) Woman Member of Parliament flagbearer, Asha Nabulo Mafabi has refuted allegations of supporting, campaigning for Opposition Candidates who are not in Nrm Party.

According  to Nabulo, some leaders, and opponents are Witch-hunting her since Nomination. 

"I'm being Witch-hunted by some Independent Candidates. On several occasions, my opponent and other leaders have attempted to practice politics of malice and hatred" -Nabulo. 

In Sironko, politics is rarely just about party colours. It is about relationships, local influence, and who genuinely holds the ear of the community. That is why the emerging video of Asha Lumolo an NRM flagbearer has reached out to Hon. Nandala Nathan Mafabi an FDC figure and Presidential Flagbear with presidential ambitions has generated fresh discussion.

On the surface, it sounds unusual, an NRM flagbearer asking for support from a leading opposition personality. But in the context of Sironko’s political dynamics, the request points to something deeper Nathan Nandala Mafabi’s enduring strength and relevance on the ground.

Though according to Aisha Lumolo Nabulo, the circulating Video is too old, she says the video was captured in 2021, when Nandala was also contesting as an MP, whereas now, he is the fdc presidential candidate. 

It should also be noted that recently, Nabulo was accused of supporting and campaigning for the Forum For Democratic Change FDC presidential candidate, Hon Nathan Nandala Mafabi, which she claimed was a total false accusation.

"The photo And Videos of me kneeling before Nandala Mafabi was in 2021, and I did it because he was in a function in Bugisu as the chief guest, regardless of differences in political affiliations, Nandala is looked at as one of Bugisu's export in terms of development and Cooffe farming"- Nabulo.

Ugandan politics is often framed as a hard divide between the ruling NRM and the opposition. Publicly, party actors trade criticism, defend records, and mobilize supporters against each other. Yet at community level, the lines can blur when reality demands it. Leaders attend the same funerals, weddings, church services, and community meetings. They consult one another quietly, even when their supporters expect rivalry in reality.

Though Nabulo says, she has now gained enough support and neither does she need political support from the opposition to win the race.

It should be noted that Aisha Lumolo Nabulo is in a very tight race with the state Minister for Karamoja, Hon. Florence Nambozo Wamala, who is an independent candidate after chickening out of the nrm primaries, mid this year.
