Joseph Mugenyi has been officially nominated as the National Resistance Movement (NRM) flag bearer for Burahya County in Kabarole district.
Mugenyi secured victory in the party primaries with 23,513 votes, representing 50.6 per cent of the total ballots cast. His closest rival, Kabarole district LCV chairperson Richard Rwabuhinga, garnered 14,916 votes and has since declared he will run as an independent candidate.
Speaking to journalists at Fort Fun City shortly after his nomination, Mugenyi expressed gratitude to NRM members for their confidence in him, pledging to centre his campaign on youth empowerment and constituency development.
“This nomination is a call to serve,” he said. “We must give young people opportunities to thrive and ensure that development reaches every household in Burahya.”
