The National Resistance Movement (NRM) registrar for Kisoro District, Tadeo Mujambere, has officially declared Kisoro-based journalist and aspiring politician Denis Nsenga as the unopposed NRM flag bearer for Nkuringo Town Council ahead of the 2026 general elections.
The declaration follows the withdrawal of Festus Bahinyuza, who had initially expressed interest in contesting for the same seat. In a withdrawal letter dated July 22, 2025 and submitted to the NRM District Electoral Commission, Bahinyuza stated that his decision was made voluntarily and based on personal considerations.
He emphasized that no external pressure or coercion influenced his choice.
Registrar Mujambere confirmed receipt of Bahinyuza’s letter and noted that, with no other contender in the race, Denis Nsenga has been officially declared the NRM candidate for Nkuringo Town Council.
Nsenga, a veteran journalist known for his strong community engagement and advocacy for social development, expressed gratitude to the party leadership for the endorsement. He pledged to serve the people of Nkuringo with integrity, transparency, and dedication.
With this unopposed declaration, Nsenga is now considered one of the prominent candidates to watch in the upcoming local government elections, especially given his media background and public appeal.
