“As Far As I’m Concerned, NUP Won’t Exist In Lwemiyaga Before 2026, I’m Destroying Them Completely” Gen Rwashande Makes Bold Announcement To Bobi Wine & NUP

Brigadier General (Retired) Rwashande E., newly elected as the NRM flagbearer for the 2025–2031 term, has issued a strong statement on the political future of Lwemiyaga.

He declared that the opposition group NUP will cease to exist in the area before next year. According to him, over 200 NUP membership cards have already been surrendered by supporters in Lwemiyaga—a sign of shifting political loyalties.

This move underscores the NRM’s growing influence in the constituency, suggesting that many former National Unity Platform supporters are abandoning the opposition in favor of the ruling party.

Rwashande’s confident tone signals his belief that the NRM will continue to consolidate power and dominate Lwemiyaga’s political scene.

The development has sparked debate among residents and political analysts, who see it as potentially marking a turning point in the area’s governance.

With the 2026 elections on the horizon, these changes could reshape the political landscape not only in Lwemiyaga but also in neighboring districts.

All eyes will be on Brig Gen Rwashande to see how he maintains and expands his support base in the years ahead.
