In a powerful message of hope, ambition, and urgency, Kyeswa Hakim has issued a rallying cry to the young and newly elected leaders of the National Resistance Movement (NRM). As Uganda approaches a critical moment in its political journey, his message underscores a collective responsibility to not only serve—but to transform.
“This is not the destination—it is the beginning,” Hakim affirms, addressing the subcounty and municipal leaders who have recently emerged victorious in local elections. These wins, he notes, are not just personal triumphs but mandates of trust bestowed by the people—a trust that demands action, vision, and integrity.
As the Delegates Conference looms, Hakim does not mince words: it is time for renewal within the NRM. He calls for the retirement of leaders who have reduced the Central Executive Committee (CEC) to a personal reward system rather than a vehicle for mobilization and empowerment. “Incompetence has no place in our ranks,” he states, igniting a charge for reform that has long simmered beneath the surface of the party.
The urgency of the moment cannot be overstated. “Tomorrow’s District and City Elections are pivotal,” Hakim stresses, urging supporters to vote boldly and strategically. It is a reminder that real power is not gifted; it is claimed by those willing to fight for meaningful change.
At the heart of this movement is the youth—young patriots stepping up, often against great odds, to reshape Uganda’s political destiny. To them, Hakim offers a clear directive: “Wherever you see a young leader stepping forward, stand with them.” In a political landscape where age and status often trump innovation and principle, this call for unity is both defiant and inspiring.
This is more than a campaign. It is a movement driven by the belief that the NRM can—and must—return to its revolutionary roots. That competence and integrity can again be the currency of leadership. That the fire of youth can illuminate a new path forward.
With his eyes set on the role of National Vice Chairman for the Central Region, Hakim positions himself not just as a candidate, but as a symbol of what the new NRM can be: youthful, principled, and unrelenting in its pursuit of progress.
As the elections draw near, one message echoes above all: the future is not something to wait for—it is something to shape. And that shaping begins now.
