Breaking news<\/strong> – Veteran journalist Prosper Twebaze has been declared the NRM flag bearer for Bushenyi District LCV Chairperson, defeating incumbent Jaffari Basajjabalaba in a landslide primary victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twebaze secured a landslide victory with 66,101 votes, representing 86.2% of the total ballots cast, decisively outpacing Basajjabalaba’s 10,597 votes, which garnered 13.8% of the vote share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resounding win signals a dramatic shift in voter sentiment, with Twebaze leveraging his media background to campaign on transparency and service delivery reforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basajjabalaba, the current chairman, conceded amid celebrations by Twebaze\u2019s supporters who called the outcome a “mandate for change.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Resistance Movement (NRM) Electoral Commission officially confirmed the results, subject to the receipt and resolution of any formal petitions or disputes that may arise within the designated timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twebaze will now face opposition candidates in the 2026 general elections, where his victory is widely anticipated in this NRM stronghold. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
