I’m Still Fit To Lead!! Gen Moses Ali Brings Down the House With Surprise Dance at Adjumani Campaign Rally
A heartwarming and unexpected moment unfolded in Adjumani West Constituency when Uganda’s Second Deputy Prime Minister, Gen Moses Ali, took to the stage and began dancing before an excited crowd.
The elderly General, a seasoned politician with decades of public service, captivated his audience as he moved to the rhythm of traditional music during a campaign rally. His mere presence had already ignited enthusiasm among supporters, but no one anticipated the spirited dance that followed.
Joined by the Minister for Youth and Children Affairs, Balaam Barugahara, Gen Moses Ali was met with thunderous applause and jubilant ululations. But the energy at the event soared when the General, despite his advanced age, broke into dance.
Though visibly affected by age and frailty, he danced with determination, drawing smiles and laughter from the crowd. At one point, he lost his balance and nearly fell—but a nearby security guard quickly stepped in to steady him.
The crowd erupted—not with mockery, but with admiration. Many interpreted his dance as a courageous and heartfelt gesture, a sign that even in his twilight years, he remains eager to connect with the people.
The touching moment was captured on video and quickly went viral on social media. While many Ugandans celebrated the General’s vitality and willingness to engage with supporters, others expressed concern about his physical health, especially after his brief stumble.
Interestingly, Gen Moses Ali has already notified the NRM Electoral Commission that he will not participate in the current joint campaign events for the party primaries. This decision has fueled speculation that he may instead rely on personal outreach, cultural influence, and public appearances to reclaim his parliamentary seat in Adjumani West.
Whether viewed as a sign of enduring spirit or a cause for concern, one thing is certain—Gen Moses Ali’s dance has made a lasting impression. The people of Adjumani are unlikely to forget it anytime soon.
