The Kisoro District is gearing up for an important by-election to fill the Woman Member of Parliament seat left vacant following the passing of former minister Sarah Mateke, who was a member of the National Resistance Movement (NRM).

 

This election is set to take place with great anticipation, as both the opposition and the ruling party are eager to secure the seat.

Daniel Nayebare, the Returning Officer for the Kisoro District Electoral Commission, has confirmed that all voting materials needed for the by-election have been received.

These materials will be dispatched early on Thursday morning to ensure that voting at all 322 polling stations begins on time.

In this crucial by-election, the National Unity Platform (NUP) has presented Salim Sultana Tana as their candidate. Meanwhile, the NRM has fielded Rose Kabagyeni to represent their party and attempt to retain the seat.

The competition is fierce between the NUP, led by Bobi Wine, and the ruling NRM, headed by President Yoweri Museveni. The outcome of this by-election could signal significant shifts in political dynamics in Kisoro and beyond.

As the residents of Kisoro prepare to cast their votes, the question remains: who will win this highly contested seat and represent Kisoro District as the new Woman Member of Parliament?

The eyes of many political observers, local leaders, and citizens will be on this election as it unfolds, setting the stage for potential future political trends in the region.
