Former Energy Minister Irene Muloni is preparing for a high-profile homecoming in Bulambuli District, where she is expected to make a major political announcement following her loss of the NRM flag for the Woman MP seat to Sarah Nambozo.
Sources close to Muloni say the event will serve as both a thanksgiving to her supporters and a platform to signal her next political move.
There is growing speculation that she may declare her intention to contest for Elgon North County as an independent candidate, challenging incumbent MP and NRM flag bearer Gerald Nangoli.
Muloni’s supporters point to internal party disagreements as a driving factor behind her potential shift.
“Nangoli is a traitor we want to recall over his betrayal maneuvers,” one supporter said, highlighting the fractured alliances within the district’s NRM structures.
Having served as Bulambuli Woman MP and as Minister of Energy and Mineral Development, Muloni remains a significant political figure in the Elgon subregion.
Observers say her potential comeback could reshape local political dynamics and test the ruling party’s internal cohesion ahead of the 2026 general elections.
Her anticipated announcement has generated excitement among constituents, who see it as a bid for political redemption and a response to the growing divisions within Bulambuli’s NRM leadership.
Muloni’s homecoming could mark the beginning of a new chapter in her political career, as she seeks to reclaim influence and rally support in her home district.
