One month ago, Busoga sub-region did what had until then been thought to be unthinkable – vote against ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) presidential candidate, Mr Yoweri Museveni.
The region had until January 14 been known to be a stronghold of both Mr Museveni and the NRM. That belief was born out of the fact that it has consistently been voting for Mr Museveni since 1996.
