Former East African Legislative Assembly Member of Parliament and Vice President of DP, Fred Mukasa Mbidde, has spoken out following his defeat in the Buweekula County parliamentary race, describing politics as a long-term calling rather than a means of employment.
Speaking during Sanyuka Morning Xpress yesterday, Hon. Mbidde declined to directly comment on the election outcome, noting that politics operates within a predictable electoral cycle.
Hon. Mbidde also addressed the broader political landscape, particularly the 2026 presidential election, stating that not all opposition figures were opposed to President Yoweri Museveni’s victory. Mbidde noted that elections dominated by less-educated voters have not worked in his favor, adding that this pattern made his recent defeat unsurprising to him. END
