Victoria Bagaya also sacrificed the juicy NBS job to stand in Fort Portal where she was also badly humiliated.
Seven media personalities have been denied reason to smile after being ejected in various positions they vied for in the NRM primaries whose results were widely contested as having been fraudulently obtained countrywide.
Journalists who were left with red noses after losing in elections which were preceded by the mandatory requirement for them to relinquish their jobs include those who could be classified as veterans in the political field with the art of switching from one party to another in search of an opportunity.
Simon Muyanga Lutaaya who once worked with CBS FM, BABA TV, NBS TV and elsewhere, began by standing on the FDC ticket as an aspiring MP for Bulamogi and he lost. Former political commentator on NBS, Charles Mwanguhya stood in the primaries for the Burahya seat in Kabarole district, and lost.
Serina Kyakuwaire, attached to BABA TV, stood in Jinja City and was terribly beaten.
Other journalists who left the election round with down cast heads include NBS FM’s Esther Mirembe who stood as a woman MP aspirant for Jinja and lost, and Nathan Igeme Nabeta, one of the proprietors of NBS FM is also nursing wounds inflicted by loss.
