Eddie Kwizera (Bufumbira County), breaking the sweep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u00b7 Rubanda District:<\/em><\/strong> The ruling party secured two of the three seats, with the Woman MP, Hon. Evelyn Ninsiima Kikafunda, sitting as an Independent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u00b7 Kanungu District:<\/em><\/strong> Similarly, NRM holds two parliamentary seats, with the Woman MP, Hon. Patience Nkunda Kinshaba, elected as an Independent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u00b7 Rukungiri District:<\/em><\/strong> A clean sweep for the NRM, with all four MPs, including seasoned figures like Hon. Jim Muhwezi and Hon. Mathias Mwesigwa, belonging to the ruling party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u00b7 Kabale District:<\/em><\/strong> Another total sweep, with all four MPs, including Municipality representative Hon. Andrew Aja Baryayanga, subscribing to the NRM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u00b7 Rukiga District:<\/strong><\/em> Completing the tally, both the County and Woman MPs are members of the NRM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This electoral map reveals an overwhelming stronghold, with the NRM holding 18 of the 21 seats (approximately 86%), with the remaining three held by Independents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysts cited in the Kigezi Journalist Panel report suggest that Peace Rugambwa\u2019s focused interventions in the agricultural sector, a critical pillar of the region&#8217;s economy, have resonated deeply with the electorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her work in translating government presence into tangible agricultural benefits for households is widely seen as a political masterstroke that has effectively framed service delivery as an NRM achievement, diminishing the opposition&#8217;s former stronghold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strategic alignment of technical service delivery with political mobilization has provided the NRM with an unprecedented level of support in Kigezi, fundamentally altering a political landscape where opposition forces once held significant sway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF MPs BY DISTRICT AND PARTY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>KABALE DISTRICT (All NRM)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
