NRM flag bearers in Ntungamo District have urged unity, focus, and strong voter turnout as the 2026 elections draw closer.
The call was made during a fundraising event for the construction of Kishariro Parish Catholic Church in Ntungamo District.
Viola Namanya Buroko, the newly elected NRM flag bearer for Woman MP Ntungamo, thanked her former opponents for accepting the results of the primaries.
“Our vote was genuine. As people entrusted with this mandate, we shall work and promote our district. I call on the people to support all NRM flag bearers and our party,” she said.
Hunter James, NRM flag bearer for Kajara County, expressed gratitude to his voters and revealed that petitions challenging his victory had been dismissed.
“I have been declared the NRM flag bearer for Kajara County,” he said, adding that the process had been fair and genuine.
Outgoing Woman MP for Ntungamo, Josyline Kamateneti, pledged full support to Buroko, promising to hand over unfinished projects.
She urged all flag bearers to remain focused on service delivery rather than court battles.
“Winning the vote and working for the people are two different things,” she said, citing her record of expanding the number of government hospitals from 19 to 31 during her tenure.
Ntungamo District LC5 Chairman, Samuel Muchunguzi, reminded residents to vote in next week’s local elections.
“Service delivery is at sub-counties and town councils. Don’t just marvel at numbers—be part of them,” he urged.
With the elections looming, the message from Ntungamo’s NRM leadership was clear: stand united, deliver results, and turn out in large numbers at the polls.
