Dr Hilderman talks about his MP win

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.
