In a bold political gambit that has sent shockwaves through the National Resistance Movement (NRM), young city tycoon and media mogul Hakim Kyeswa has announced his candidacy for the position of Vice Chairperson for Buganda. This unexpected move has caught many within the ruling party off guard, setting the stage for what could be a game-changing challenge to the political elite in the region.
Kyeswa, a name increasingly associated with ambition, success, and a knack for media savvy, has positioned himself as a disruptor in Uganda’s political scene. Known for his rise in the business world and his outspoken stance on youth empowerment, Kyeswa’s foray into this high-stakes political race has stirred both curiosity and concern among the NRM’s established figures. His candidacy represents not just a bid for power, but a challenge to the traditional structures that have long defined the party’s leadership.
The NRM’s senior leadership, particularly in Buganda, has been left scrambling. Descriptions of the internal mood paint a picture of anxiety and uncertainty. One anonymous source within the party even hinted that some of the older politicians are turning to spiritual means in a desperate attempt to maintain their standing. “It’s like they’ve been spooked,” the insider remarked. “They’re consulting bufunda and making trips to shrines—anything to regain their confidence.”
Kyeswa’s entrance into the race is seen as a major disruption to the party’s established power dynamics. His message, which emphasizes a fresh, youth-driven vision for the future, has resonated strongly with younger voters. With his slogan, “Nothing for us without us,” he has promised to shift the focus toward inclusive progress that benefits not just the political elite, but ordinary citizens as well.
The 30-something mogul’s appeal lies in his ability to marry business insight with media influence, drawing in a following that is eager for change. His statement, “I am here to shake things up,” reflects his determination to break away from the status quo, positioning himself as the voice of a generation frustrated with the old guard’s inaction.
NRM veterans who once seemed firmly in control now face a new and potent threat, forcing them to rethink their strategies in the face of Kyeswa’s growing popularity. “They’re re-evaluating their next steps,” one insider revealed, “and some are even consulting political diviners in an attempt to navigate this new and unpredictable terrain.”
Kyeswa’s candidacy is more than just a challenge for a position—it’s a signal that Uganda’s political landscape could be in for a seismic shift. Whether the old guard can regain its footing or whether Kyeswa’s rise represents the dawn of a new era in NRM politics remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: the game has changed, and the political veterans of Buganda are on edge.
