DRAMATIC SCENE!! Bukoto MP Twaha Kagabo Faints 4 Times After Total Rejection At NRM Primaries

A wave of disbelief swept through Bukoto South on Thursday, July 17, 2025, when sitting Member of Parliament Twaha Kagabo fainted multiple times after facing an overwhelming rejection during the National Resistance Movement (NRM) party primaries.

The dramatic scene unfolded in Lwengo District, where large crowds had turned out for the highly anticipated primaries. Tensions were already running high amid growing dissatisfaction with Kagabo’s performance during his term. Still, few anticipated the stunning events that followed.

Using the NRM’s traditional lining-up voting system, voters were asked to physically stand behind their preferred candidate — a method designed for full transparency. But when Kagabo’s turn came, not a single person stood behind him.

A heavy silence blanketed the area. Witnesses described the moment as surreal. Kagabo appeared stunned, visibly shaken by the result. Within moments, he collapsed — not once, but four separate times — overwhelmed by the public rebuke.

“It was heartbreaking,” said one eyewitness. “He just stood there, completely alone, and then fell. Even his own campaign team didn’t show up behind him.”

Security personnel and party officials quickly intervened, providing medical assistance and later confirming that Kagabo was in stable condition. Voting was briefly suspended but eventually resumed without further incident.

Images and videos of the moment quickly went viral, igniting debate across Uganda. Many saw the rejection as a sign of voters holding their leaders accountable, particularly those accused of neglecting constituents after securing office.

“This is what happens when leaders forget the people who sent them there,” one user posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Others, however, called for empathy, noting the emotional toll politics can take. “No matter the outcome, no one deserves that level of public humiliation. Leaders are human too,” said one fellow MP, who requested anonymity.

As NRM primaries continue across the country, the events in Bukoto South offer a stark reminder: political power ultimately rests with the people — and when their trust is lost, the consequences can be swift and unforgiving.
