Lawyer Dan Musinguzi Nabaasa has officially been nominated as an independent candidate for the Kabale Municipality Member of Parliament seat in the 2026 general elections.
Nabaasa was nominated at exactly 9:29 a.m. by Kabale District Electoral Commission Returning Officer, Aisha Nansubuga, during the two-day nationwide nomination exercise for parliamentary aspirants in Kabale, the exercise is being conducted at the Electoral Commission offices on Makanga Hill on Wednesday.
Speaking to the media after his nomination, Nabaasa pledged to focus on improving education, health, agriculture, and infrastructure development once elected.
He criticized the current municipal leadership for failing to operationalize Kabale City, which he said has hindered development and job creation.
“If the municipal leadership was pro-Kabale people, Kabale City would now be operational, creating employment opportunities and improving service delivery,” Nabaasa said.
He urged residents to unite beyond political and personal divisions, calling for a collective effort toward transformative leadership.
“Kabale needs leaders who put service delivery above self-interest. My mission is to bring positive change by focusing on tangible community development,” he added.
Nabaasa’s vision includes revamping infrastructure, enhancing education and healthcare services and promoting agricultural productivity to improve household incomes.
Meanwhile, Alex Edgar Muhwezi has also been nominated as an independent candidate for the same seat. He was nominated at 10:52 a.m. by Returning Officer Aisha Nansubuga.
Running under the symbol of a radio, Muhwezi vowed to be “a voice for the voiceless residents” of Kabale Municipality.
He promised to prioritize health, education, and infrastructure, and said his national connections would help him lobby for better services and enhance livelihoods.
Muhwezi also called for unity and issue-based politics, warning against voting along religious or tribal lines.
“Kabale needs capable leaders focused on service delivery, not sectarian interests,” he emphasized.
One of his main priorities, Muhwezi said, is tackling youth unemployment by strengthening the National Youth Scheme to equip young people with practical skills for self-employment.
