The President’s presence [at the voting]. I have never seen Museveni sit from 10am to 10pm, he came there to say this is a referendum between me and Kadaga
Buganda has been one of Museveni’s strongest voting blocs since 1986 when he took power. But losing a big layer of support here suggests the president may have to walk a precarious political path to be able govern and to calm the escalating political tensions in the region.
Museveni polled 5.8 million votes of the 9.9 million votes cast while his main challenger polled 3.4 million votes. The Electoral Commission’s official data shows NRM got 35 per cent in the central region while Kyagulanyi’s NUP, a new player on the political scene, snapped up 62.01 per cent. The NUP revolution also torpedoed many ministers in Buganda.

Debate on the Constitutional Amendment Bill No 1, 2019, faced another setback yesterday after MPs failed to proceed without functioning iPads.
The Bill, which seeks to amend about 30 Articles of the 1995 Constitution, was moved in December 2019 by Ndorwa East MP Wilfred Niwagaba, who is also the Shadow Attorney General.
The debate did not ensue after Speaker Rebecca Kadaga promised to give guidance on how to proceed during the plenary session.
