Bulambuli District was filled with excitement and celebration on October 22, 2025, as Hon. Nyasio Wamakhuyu Mudimi, the Member of Parliament for Elgon Constituency, was officially nominated to contest as an independent candidate in the upcoming elections.
His nomination marked a powerful moment of defiance and hope after what many residents described as an unfair outcome in the recent NRM party primaries. Reliable sources revealed that Hon. Mudimi had clearly won the flag bearer race, but his victory was overturned under questionable circumstances. The Bulambuli Electoral Commission later admitted to irregularities in the tally sheets, citing external interference and financial influence as factors that marred the process.
One of his rivals, who also serves as the district’s NRM Secretary General, was captured on video bragging that party leaders had decided to “punish” Hon. Mudimi for previously contesting for the position of NRM District Chairperson. True to his claims, Mudimi’s victory was blocked, a decision that sparked outrage across Elgon Constituency.
But the people stood by their leader. Over the past few weeks, thousands of supporters have been visiting Hon. Mudimi’s home, urging him to run as an independent candidate. They say his integrity, dedication, and track record in development make him the true choice of the people.
When nomination day finally came, Bulambuli turned into a scene of jubilation. Streets were packed with supporters waving banners, singing songs, and chanting Mudimi’s name in unity and excitement.
Speaking after his nomination, Hon. Mudimi thanked his supporters for their unwavering faith and promised to continue focusing on development, accountability, and unity in Bulambuli.
“Leadership is not about colors or positions; it’s about serving the people. I am here because the people have spoken,” he said to loud cheers from the crowd.
Hon. Mudimi is widely praised for spearheading numerous development projects in education, roads, and health across the district. Many residents describe him as a pillar of transformation and a leader who stands for truth even when the odds are against him.
As campaigns officially begin, the message from Elgon Constituency is unmistakable the people are rallying behind their trusted leader, Hon. Nyasio Wamakhuyu Mudimi, the people’s choice and the unwavering voice of Bulambuli.
