Dr Hilderman talks about his MP win
January 24, 2021 Hilderman (R) with Bobi Wine recently
Hillary Kiyaga alias Dr Hilderman is among the entertainers who have secured themselves a place in Uganda’s 11th Parliament after trouncing Trade, Industry and Cooperatives minister Amelia Kyambadde in Mawokota North constituency.
You can start practising calling him Hon Kiyaga soon. Dr Hilderman joined Geoffrey Lutaaya (Kakuuto) in successfully making the crossover into politics last week. In the run-up to the 2011 general election, Dr Hilderman remixed his song Amelia to support Kyambadde’s candidature for Mawokota North constituency as she ousted Peter Mutuluuza.
The big hit was Kyambadde’s official campaign song and the two were always seen together as they canvassed for votes. But after her 2016 re-election, Dr Hilderman started sounding increasingly critical of her work and expressed interest of replacing her.
