His leadership style, grassroots engagement, and policy priorities have resonated well with the electorate, leading the race with 65% while his closest rival Hajji Id Basaja has 25%.
Western Region’s Rising Political Star
Beyond Bushenyi, the latest surveys indicate that Muhereza’s influence is growing across the western region. His political approach, strategic engagement with the electorate, and policy advocacy have strengthened his standing among voters.
