She cautioned that party faithfuls who turn around and secretly shift support to the opponents are treacherous people who should be avoided for the sake of the party’s election victory.
Hajat Faridah Kibowa, chairperson of the National Women Council who is also the team leader for President Museveni’s 2026 election task force for Greater Mukono, noted that although government has put down considerable development projects leading Mukono district to meet requirements for elevation to a city status, the support to the President did not reflect this gain.
