Rubaga South Residents Reject Baseless Petition on their Darling Candidate Aloysius Mukasa

Recent reports from a little-known outlet have claimed that a section of individuals petitioned against the endorsement of Hon. Mukasa Aloysius as the NUP flag bearer for Rubaga South. The article alleges bribery, poor performance, and unfair influence in the endorsement process. However, a closer look at the situation paints a very different picture one that shows Hon. Mukasa as not only the most popular candidate in Rubaga South but also one of the most impactful legislators in the 11th Parliament.

Unfounded Allegations of Bribery

The so-called petition, spearheaded by an individual with little influence in Rubaga South politics, bases its argument on claims that Hon. Mukasa bribed NUP councilors with campaign posters. This allegation is laughable at best. A man who commands organic support across villages, churches, mosques, and community groups does not need to bribe anyone to secure endorsements. Residents of Rubaga South know well that Mukasa’s popularity is rooted in his personal touch with the people not in backroom deals.

A Record of Service and Commitment

Contrary to claims of dormancy, Hon. Mukasa has been an active voice in Parliament and on the ground. He has consistently advocated for better service delivery in Rubaga South, raised concerns about the rising cost of living, and championed youth empowerment. Beyond Parliament, he has invested his time and resources in:

Supporting schools with scholastic materials.

Financing youth and women projects in Katwe, Ndeeba, Nateete, and other areas.

Standing with market vendors and traders whenever government policies threaten their livelihoods.

Offering direct medical and financial support to the most vulnerable families in his constituency.

This is why Rubaga South residents, time and again, rally behind him. His works speak louder than the propaganda written by his opponents.

Popularity That Cannot Be Denied

Those pushing this petition are largely failed aspirants who fear facing Hon. Mukasa at the polls. On the ground, his rallies attract thousands without needing to ferry supporters. Whenever Hon. Mukasa moves in Katwe or Nateete, ordinary citizens flock to greet him. His connection with boda riders, market women, and the youth is unmatched. Simply put, no other NUP aspirant in Rubaga South can match his grassroots popularity.

The Bigger Picture

The petitioners’ attempt to discredit Hon. Mukasa is not just an attack on one MP; it is an attempt to weaken the unity of the NUP in Rubaga South. However, the people of Rubaga South know who has stood by them, and they will not be swayed by baseless claims or fake news.

Hon. Mukasa Aloysius remains the people’s choice, and the smear campaigns only expose the desperation of his rivals. His popularity, service record, and unwavering commitment to the cause of change in Uganda make him the undisputed flag bearer for NUP in Rubaga South.
