In a significant strategic move, Rt. Hon. Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga, a pivotal figure in Ugandan politics, has officially sought and secured the crucial backing of the Busoga Women’s Forum ahead of her highly anticipated campaign launch for the NRM 2nd National Vice Chairperson (Female) position.
The influential gathering took place at the Hannington Resort Hotel in Kyando, Mayuge District, bringing together the leaders of Women’s Leagues from all 12 districts, City, and Municipalities of Busoga.
The meeting served as a vital platform for Kadaga to personally inform and enlist the support of these grassroots women leaders from her home region.
Addressing the assembled women, a visibly confident Kadaga expressed profound gratitude, stating, “I am proud to have the unwavering support of the Busoga Women’s Forum ahead of the launch of the National Campaign for 2nd National Vice Chairperson NRM in Iganga Municipality.”
This endorsement from her home region provides a significant psychological and logistical boost as she prepares for the rigorous national campaign.
Preparations are reportedly in high gear for the official launch of Kadaga’s campaign for the NRM National Vice Chairperson (Female) position. The inaugural event is slated for Thursday, July 10, 2025, in Iganga District, a key area within the Busoga sub-region.
This launch will mark the formal commencement of her nationwide push to secure the highly coveted Central Executive Committee (CEC) slot within the ruling National Resistance Movement party.
Kadaga, a political heavyweight and former Speaker of Parliament, faces fierce competition for this top NRM leadership position. Her primary challenger is none other than the current Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Anita Annet Among.
The contest between these two powerful female figures promises to be one of the most closely watched internal elections within the NRM.
The solidarity shown by the Busoga Women’s Forum marks a powerful commencement to Kadaga’s campaign. Leveraging her deep roots and extensive influence in Busoga, she aims to consolidate a strong regional base before taking her message to the rest of the country.
The upcoming launch in Iganga will undoubtedly set the tone for what is expected to be a robust and highly contested race for the NRM National Vice Chairperson (Female) seat.
