The Common Man’s Party (CMP) presidential candidate, Mubarak Munyagwa Sserunga, has called on Ugandans to withdraw their support and trust from the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) government, saying it has run out of transformation ideas.


Addressing a campaign rally in Kalungu Town Council, Kalungu District on Wednesday, Munyagwa said that after nearly four decades in power, President Yoweri Museveni and the NRM leadership have failed to meet the aspirations of Ugandans, calling for political change.

Munyagwa, one of eight presidential candidates, faulted the government for implementing numerous wealth-creation and livelihood-improvement programs that have failed to deliver tangible results.

He added that the ruling government has had enough time to demonstrate its potential to transform the country, but has instead repeated past mistakes — a sign of fatigue and inefficiency. Munyagwa urged voters in Kalungu District to lead the campaign for change by rejecting bad governance and embracing fairness and accountability.

Martin Nsimbe, a voter in Kalungu Town Council, challenged Munyagwa to collaborate with other opposition candidates to develop a joint strategy for safeguarding votes against possible rigging during and after the elections. Nsimbe said that while many Ugandans desire political change, their efforts are often frustrated by electoral irregularities that compromise the integrity of the process.
