Renowned media personality Zambaali Bulasio Mukasa has officially declared his intention to contest for the Member of Parliament seat for Nansana Municipality in the upcoming elections.
Mukasa, who seeks to run under the National Unity Platform (NUP) ticket, made his announcement during a rally in Kawempe, where he joined NUP party president Robert Kyagulanyi, a.k.a Bobi Wine, in mobilizing support for Elias Nalukoola in the Kawempe North by-election. The by-election follows the passing of former MP Muhammad Ssegirinya.
With his entry into the race, Mukasa will have to compete for the NUP ticket against singer Big Eye Starboss, who has also expressed interest in the position.
If successful, he will face off against the current MP, Wakayima Musoke, in what promises to be a heated political contest.
As the race for the Nansana Municipality seat gains momentum, all eyes will be on how the NUP primaries unfold and whether Mukasa can secure the party’s endorsement for his political ambitions.
