Faridah Nambi Isn’t Backing Down Vows to Win Kawempe North in 2026

Faridah Nambi is not done with Kawempe North — not even close. After picking up nomination forms to contest in the 2026 general elections, she’s making it clear that this time, she’s in it to win.

“I’m not just participating — I’m taking the seat,” she said confidently while addressing supporters shortly after collecting her forms from the NRM Electoral Commission offices.

This move marks the latest chapter in what’s been a tense political battle for the constituency.

Earlier this year, Kawempe North’s parliamentary seat was left vacant after the tragic passing of Muhammad Ssegirinya (also known as “Mr. Updates”) from the National Unity Platform (NUP). That led to a by-election in March 2025, where Nambi, representing the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), ran against NUP’s Elias Nalukoola. Nalukoola won — but the result didn’t sit right with Nambi.

She challenged the outcome in court, pointing to irregularities in the voting process. Last week, the court agreed and overturned Nalukoola’s victory. That decision has now opened the door for another showdown.

But Nambi isn’t just focused on winning votes — she’s promising real change. In her remarks, she outlined her priorities: fixing the water shortages, unblocking drainage systems, reducing youth unemployment, and easing the burden of high rent for residents.

“I’m not running just to have a title,” she said. “I want to represent people who’ve been overlooked. Kawempe North deserves leadership that listens and acts.”

She also spoke passionately about transforming the lives of young people, especially those in the more than 38 ghettos across the constituency. Nambi believes the youth need more opportunities, support, and mindset change — not just blame.

“Let’s help our youth build better lives, not push them further away with judgment. They have potential; they just need a chance,” she added.

Despite her recent court win, the road ahead remains uncertain. Nalukoola has filed a notice of appeal against the annulment of his election, meaning the legal fight may continue. But Nambi is not backing down.

She’s also urging voters to consider giving the NRM a chance, pointing to the party’s record and national leadership.

“We have a president who’s proven himself, and Insha’Allah, he’ll lead us again. I’m asking the people of Kawempe North to walk with me and try a new path — the NRM way.”

With 2026 fast approaching, one thing is clear: Faridah Nambi is coming back stronger, more determined, and fully focused on claiming the seat she says should have been hers all along.
