Supporters of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) in Busujju Constituency, Mityana District, have launched a mobilisation campaign demanding what they describe as the “recovery” of their parliamentary victory following the 2026 general elections.
The initiative, dubbed “Tukabanje Akalulu Kaffe” (Let Us Claim Our Vote), seeks to challenge the outcome of the parliamentary race in which the National Unity Platform (NUP) candidate David Lukyamuzi Kalwanga was declared winner.
Busujju is one of the four constituencies in Mityana District, alongside Mityana Municipality, Mityana North and Mityana South.
In the 2026 elections, the NRM won three of the four parliamentary seats in the district — Mityana North, Mityana South and Mityana Municipality — while Busujju went to NUP.
According to official results released by the Electoral Commission, Kalwanga polled 12,871 votes, defeating NRM’s Vincent Nyanzi, who garnered 11,537 votes.
At the time of declaration, Nyanzi did not publicly contest the outcome.
However, weeks after the polls, NRM supporters across Busujju and parts of Mityana District have revived the debate, insisting their candidate rightfully won the election.
The mobilisation began with a meeting at Nyanzi’s home in Kivuuvu Village, Maanyi Sub-county. Supporters later marched through various parts of the constituency in what organisers described as a peaceful demonstration.
Carrying tree branches as a symbol of non-violent protest, the group moved through different villages under the watch of security personnel, with no reported incidents.
Saul Kalwanga, one of the organisers, said the campaign is intended to demand justice over what they believe was an unfair outcome.
“In our view, our candidate won this election. We cannot sit back while the will of our voters is ignored. That is why we are saying ‘Tukabanje Akalulu Kaffe,’” he said.
The group warned that if the Electoral Commission does not respond to their concerns, they intend to escalate the matter to higher authorities, including petitioning the President.
“If our concerns are not addressed, we shall take our protest to the highest office in the land,” Saul added.
Contacted for comment, Busujju MP David Lukyamuzi Kalwanga dismissed allegations that he stole the vote, describing the claims as defamatory.
“I was duly elected by the people of Busujju in a free and fair election,” Kalwanga said. “Those spreading claims that I stole votes are tarnishing my name, and I am considering legal action against individuals who continue to defame me.”
Kalwanga maintained that the 2026 results were declared by the Electoral Commission in accordance with the law and that he remains the legitimate representative of Busujju Constituency.
The Electoral Commission has not yet publicly responded to the supporters’ claims.
