From The Office of the Member of Parliament Mawogola North, Sembabule District.
As we prepare for the upcoming party primaries that will be held on the 16th of July, we are drawn back to the unfortunate events that took place during the same exercise of 2021. The people of Mawogola North were not able to exercise their constitutional right to choose their leaders freely, which is the very essence of elections. It is therefore against this background that interventions to avert a similar situation have been considered.
After a meeting with H.E The President and Chairman of the NRM party and consultations with my family, I regret to inform you that I have withdrawn my candidature for the position of the NRM flag bearer Mawogola North for the period 2026-2031 for the following reasons;
1. My respect for the President, Chairman of the NRM Party, my elder and leader and my high regard for his guidance
2. Not to subject our supporters to the threats, brutality and insecurity that they endured in the previous Sembabule NRM primary elections
3. To safeguard the unity of our people
4. To maintain the unity of the NRM party
I take this opportunity to thank H.E the President, the people of Mawogola North, especially my supporters for the opportunity to serve them as their leader, servant and Member of Parliament from 2021-to date. I have rendered selfless service to my people because it is my duty and calling to do so.
To my supporters, I owe you a debt of gratitude for your love, sacrifice and dedication. Together, we have made tremendous progress in uplifting the living conditions of our people, repaired and built roads, education and health infrastructure. But above all, we have ensured unity and tranquility in our area.
Special thanks to my Goberera Initiative team and its leadership. Your sterling performance in following up on government programs has set an example of how much we can achieve with dedication. It remains both a challenge and an inspiration to us all and future leaders.
I have taken this decision with a heavy heart, knowing fully well how much disappointment you will all endure, but I take comfort in the knowledge and belief that it is in the ashes of such setbacks that the seeds of future success germinate.
I remain ready to serve you.
God bless you.
Shartsi Kutesa Musherure, MP
