Bungokho Central MP Masaba Muhamood Declares Full Support for Gen. Muhoozi as Bugisu Crowds Rally Behind His 2031 Bid

-


In a powerful show of regional solidarity, Hon. Muhamood Masaba Mutenyo, the National Resistance Movement Member of Parliament for Bungokho Central County in Mbale District, has formally endorsed Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba for the presidency in 2031 and beyond. The declaration came during a large-scale historic endorsement ceremony and Baraza held at Mbale Cricket Grounds in Mbale City last weekend.

Thousands of residents from Mbale City and the wider Bugisu sub-region—including the districts of Mbale, Sironko, Bulambuli, Bududa, Manafwa and Namisindwa—filled the grounds on Saturday, 24 October 2026. The gathering formed part of the Patriotic League of Uganda’s (PLU) ongoing nationwide drive to mobilise support for Gen. Kainerugaba, the Chief of Defence Forces and PLU Chairman, as the preferred successor to President Yoweri Museveni in the 2031 elections.

Hon. Masaba Mutenyo, a first-term legislator who previously served as Mayor of Mbale City’s Industrial Division, used the platform to throw his weight behind the General. Standing before the packed crowd, the Bungokho Central MP voiced confidence in Gen. Kainerugaba’s leadership qualities, military service and vision for national continuity and development. His endorsement added significant local political weight to the event, coming from a sitting NRM parliamentarian rooted in the Bugisu heartland.

The Baraza was hosted by Counsel Paul Mugoya Wanyoto, a key PLU mobiliser in eastern Uganda, following weeks of groundwork with district chairpersons, local council leaders, boda boda operators and community groups. Senior PLU figures in attendance included General Secretary Rt. Hon. Fadil Twalla and Deputy Director for Mobilisation Henry Basaliza Mutegeki. State Minister for Public Service Lydia Wanyoto and PLU Coordinator for Greater Mukono Jimmy Lwanga also travelled to Mbale for the occasion.

Beyond speeches and formal endorsements, the day featured practical community engagement. A PLU medical team offered free health services to residents, while legal advisory desks and membership registration points operated on site. Organisers emphasised PLU’s broader goals of patriotism, national unity and grassroots participation as they continued collecting physical endorsement signatures—part of a national target reported to reach 20 million.

The Mbale event capped a series of district-level activities across Bugisu and fits into a wider pattern of regional Barazas. Similar gatherings have already taken place in other parts of the country as PLU structures expand membership through digital registration and village-level mobilisation. Gen. Kainerugaba has described the overall effort as a “quiet and patient revolution,” with supporters calling for overwhelming support in 2031.

For the people of Bungokho Central and Bugisu, Hon. Masaba’s public stand signals growing alignment between local NRM leaders and the PLU campaign. As the endorsement books continue to circulate and more legislators and community leaders declare their positions, the Mbale Cricket Grounds ceremony stands as a vivid illustration of the momentum building around Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s prospective presidential run.

The full proceedings, including Hon. Masaba Muhamood Mutenyo’s endorsement remarks, were captured on video and have circulated widely among supporters.
