Popular media personality and comedian, Hussein Muyonjo, popularly known as Swengere, recently shed light on his political aspirations and strategies in the event that he does not obtain the National Unity Platform (NUP) ticket for the Jinja North parliamentary seat in 2026. In an honest interview broadcasted on Sanyuka TV, Swengere displayed confidence in his capabilities to win the NUP endorsement, emphasizing that he possesses the qualities required to gain the party's support.
Swengere highlighted a shift in the election process compared to the 2021 elections, noting that this time, community backing plays a more significant role. He explained that NUP party leader Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, has stressed that 60% of the decision-making process lies with the people, while the NUP Electoral Commission accounts for the remaining 40%.
Speaking about the importance of community support, Swengere stated, "This time round, the ground has 60% and the NUP EC has 40%. The 60% matters most, and the NUP President Bobi Wine has often said it. He has also often said that the ticket is not at the party offices, No. Not even any leader, but the ticket is with the people."
Swengere, who has been vocal on social justice issues and advocating for the community, expressed his readiness to support Miss Curvy and indicated no objections to her campaign. His involvement in community matters has positioned him favorably against his competitors, as he continues to be a strong voice for the people of Jinja and beyond.
Swengere is among the numerous public figures who have shown interest in pursuing political leadership roles to contribute to shaping the nation and influencing legislative decisions. His commitment to social causes and community engagement has distinguished him in the political landscape, potentially giving him an advantage in the upcoming race.
