Bududa District burst into celebration on Tuesday, October 22, 2025, as Hon. Kevinah Nabutuwa was officially nominated as an independent candidate for Woman Member of Parliament. Thousands of excited residents filled the streets, singing, dancing, and cheering for a leader they describe as “the people’s choice” one who has remained steadfast in the face of betrayal and political injustice.
Hon. Kevinah’s path to nomination has been anything but easy. During the recent NRM primaries, she clearly emerged the winner, yet her victory was controversially overturned. Evidence from several polling stations reportedly confirmed her lead, but the party flag was instead handed to another contender. When she petitioned the party for a review, no response ever came, leaving her supporters frustrated and disillusioned.
Matters grew worse when it later emerged that the declared flag bearer was a close relative of the district NRM registrar a revelation that raised serious questions about fairness and transparency. Sources close to the process even revealed that the declared candidate privately admitted surprise at being announced winner, acknowledging that Hon. Kevinah had indeed won.
Refusing to give in to humiliation, Hon. Kevinah chose the people’s path standing as an independent to let voters decide their true representative. Her decision reignited hope and unity across Bududa, as residents rallied behind her, calling her “the real face of service and accountability.”
What was meant to be a simple nomination exercise turned into a celebration of resilience and renewal. Thousands of jubilant supporters escorted her to the nomination center, waving placards that read “Our Leader, Our Choice” and “Bududa Believes in Kevinah.”
Speaking after her nomination, Hon. Kevinah thanked the people for their unwavering support and love.
“I am standing here not because of power, but because of the people who believe in truth, justice, and progress. Together, we shall build a better Bududa,” she said, her voice filled with both humility and conviction.
Hon. Kevinah Nabutuwa is widely celebrated for her role in transforming lives through women’s empowerment, youth mentorship, and community development projects. Her hands-on approach and deep connection with the grassroots have earned her respect across political divides.
As campaigns kick off, one message rings loud and clear from the hills of Bududa the people stand firmly with Hon. Kevinah Nabutuwa, a leader of courage, integrity, and unwavering purpose.
