As the race for the National Resistance Movement (NRM)’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) gathers steam, Tuhaise Prosper is not just gaining ground—he is redefining what effective, people-first party leadership looks like.
With a reputation built on unwavering loyalty to President Yoweri Museveni, a stellar record of delivery, and an unshakeable connection to grassroots communities, Tuhaise is not simply campaigning—he is answering a clarion call from Western Uganda for principled, transformative representation at the highest decision-making table of the ruling party.
Tuhaise’s vision for the CEC is clear and uncompromising: Put people first, always. His strategic agenda speaks directly to the real needs and concerns of the region:
- Policy Formulation & Implementation: Advocating for policies that prioritize farmers, SACCOs, youth, and small-scale traders—the economic engines of rural communities.
- Information Dissemination: Rolling out accessible, reliable communication channels that close the information gap between the NRM leadership and its supporters on the ground.
- Constructive Criticism: Courageously challenging inefficiency within party organs to uphold the core values of the NRM—discipline, patriotism, and service.
- Party Operations & Representation: Injecting professionalism, consistency, and credibility into the party’s regional engagements and administrative processes.
- Transparency & Accountability: Embracing a results-driven leadership model, with an open-door policy and total transparency to restore faith in political service.
Those following the race already know: Tuhaise is not just ahead—he’s in a league of his own. His political rise has been marked not by noise, but by quiet competence, discipline, and visible impact. In fact, his loyal supporters are posing a provocative question: “How do you run against someone who hasn’t just delivered, but is so respected, no one dares to oppose him?”
This isn’t arrogance. It’s confidence born of integrity and performance. Tuhaise has earned his place in the CEC conversation—not through favoritism, but through sheer effectiveness.
Tuhaise’s CEC bid has become a rallying cry for a region hungry for honest, intelligent, and action-oriented leadership. His campaign is powered by farmers, boda riders, youth groups, religious leaders, business owners, and civil servants—all united by one belief: Tuhaise is the bridge between NRM’s legacy and its future.
“Western Uganda has made its choice. The rest of the party only needs to follow,” says one campaign mobilizer from Mbarara.
From Kashari to Isingiro, Ibanda to Ntungamo, the support is overwhelming. But this is more than a regional wave—it’s a national signal that the NRM needs fresh energy, principled direction, and leaders who work—not just talk.
Tuhaise Prosper is not just running. He’s leading. With financial independence, organizational muscle, and a deep, authentic connection to the people, his ascension to the CEC is not a matter of if, but when.
And when he gets there, one thing is certain: Western Uganda will finally have a voice that doesn’t whisper—it roars.
