Former Electoral Commission spokesperson Jotham Taremwa was on Thursday officially nominated to contest for the Nyabushozi parliamentary seat in the 2026 elections as an independent candidate.

Taremwa, who was defeated by the incumbent Wilson Kajwengye in the NRM primaries has opted to defy the party system and President Museveni by standing as an independent candidate.

It should be noted that in July 2021, Taremwa was among the four senior commissioners at EC who abruptly tendered in their resignations before Justice Simon Byabakama who carefully claimed the officials had taken “early retirement.”

This impression, however, has always been viewed as a smokescreen and on September 7, President Museveni cleared the air when he said he sacked them for corruption.

What is your take on;
A section of Opposition leaders has condemned Norbert Mao’s statement that the transition to replace President Museveni will not come through an election, but is being quietly crafted through backdoor talks.

Here comes Mr. Katungye Hebert who's seeking to unseat the incumbent and the NRM Chairperson in Keihangara Sub-County, Francis Mpumwire.
Mr Mpumwire was elected unopposed in the NRM primaries but sources indicate he used the opportunity to do open decampaigning on candidates that had stood on different electoral positions an issue that couldn't leave him elected unopposed even in the general elections.
We wait to see whether he will maintain the party flag or smartly move out with a flagpole

Your thoughts

The Electoral Commission has banned politicians from fundraising in religious institutions, citing it as a key source of voter bribery during campaigns.

EC Chairperson Justice Simon Byabakama said the move aims to curb electoral corruption, urging churches and mosques to avoid hosting fundraisers that attract donations from political aspirants seeking to influence voters.

Ugandans risk fines or jail time for wasting electricity under a proposed Energy Efficiency Bill. The law will criminalise practices such as leaving lights on during the day, ironing clothes during peak tariff hours, leaving computers and music systems running unnecessarily, and operating outdated, inefficient machines.

Energy Minister Sidronius Opolot says the crackdown aims to cut power waste, lower costs, and support Uganda’s ten-fold industrialisation plan, urging both homes and industries to switch to energy-saving technologies The bill is set to be tabled in Parliament soon

: Are we really fixing energy waste or just criminalising poor upbringing?
