Alexander Kyokwijuka, popularly known as Amasiko ga Ndorwa East, has officially picked nomination forms to run as an Independent candidate for Member of Parliament for Ndorwa County East in Kabale District ahead of the 2026 general elections.
Once nominated, Kyokwijuka will join the political race against the NRM flag bearer, Protazio Begumisa, and the incumbent MP, Wilfred Niwagaba.
Speaking after receiving the forms, Kyokwijuka thanked his supporters for their unwavering encouragement.
“I do not take your support for granted. My decision to stand is rooted in your voices and aspirations. I pledge to work hand in hand with all stakeholders to deliver better leadership for Ndorwa East,” Kyokwijuka said, emphasizing his commitment to serving the needs of his people.
Kyokwijuka highlighted that Ndorwa East has recently been a hotbed of political discussions, with residents expressing concerns over poor road infrastructure, limited access to agricultural markets, and challenges facing youth and women in creating sustainable livelihoods.
“The delayed improvement on key infrastructural projects has drawn sharp criticism from residents, who believe the constituency deserves more decisive representation,” he noted.
Analysts have described Kyokwijuka’s entry into the race as a “game changer.” His track record as an educationist, community mobilizer, and youth advocate positions him as a formidable candidate. He has consistently championed youth and women’s empowerment, job creation, and improved service delivery.
Kyokwijuka says his campaign will focus on uniting the constituency and building partnerships to attract development.
“As Ndorwa East, we cannot afford to lag behind. The time for practical solutions and accountable leadership is now,” he declared.
With nomination day approaching, all eyes are now on Ndorwa East, where Kyokwijuka’s independent bid is expected to shake the political landscape and redefine the 2026 race.
