  • Minister Florence Nambozo hounded by peasant farmer in NRM Elections showdown

    Minister Florence Nambozo hounded by peasant farmer in NRM Elections showdown

    Mutufu Town Council, Sironko District: Mr. Kiisa James, a humble peasant farmer and former Town Council Chairperson of Mutufu, who has stunned political observers by handing the State Minister for Karamoja and Sironko District Woman MP, Hon. Florence Nambozo, a political humiliation in the just-concluded NRM Structures Elections.

    Kiisa, whose feud with the Minister traces back to 2024 when she allegedly blocked him from meeting President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni during his visit to Mutufu, suffered a stroke shortly after the incident. What many thought would be the end of his political journey instead became the start of a powerful comeback.

    On May 16, 2025, Kiisa challenged Hon. Nambozo for the position of General Secretary for Mutufu Town Council, defeating her by 10 votes. In a dramatic twist, chaos erupted when the Minister’s team reportedly disrupted the process, leading to its cancellation. A re-run scheduled for May 17 failed to yield a result after her camp allegedly attempted to sneak in non-eligible voters, a move that further dented her credibility and forced another postponement.

    But the real knockout came not at the linking up of electorate.

    In a masterstroke of strategy, Kiisa petitioned NRM Electoral Commission Chairperson Dr. Tanga Odoi, highlighting that Hon. Nambozo, who initially contested in the Women’s League in ward that was not her own, was ineligible to switch and contest for a mainstream position in a different structure. Dr. Tanga Odoi swiftly acted, declaring Mr. Kiisa unopposed and ordering Hon. Nambozo to withdraw her candidacy within two hours to avoid bringing further embarrassment to the party.

    “This is a senior leader in government. How can she fail to comprehend the most basic election guidelines of our party?” a source close to Dr. Tanga Odoi was quoted as saying.

    Now, all eyes turn to Friday, May 23, 2025, dubbed by political analysts as her Waterloo. On that day, the embattled minister will face off against the formidable NRM Chairman and presidential model farmer, Mr. Mafabi Sulaiman Lumolo, in the race for Sironko District NRM Chairpersonship.

    For a woman who once towered over the political landscape of Sironko, Hon. Florence Nambozo now finds herself reeling under the weight of strategic miscalculations, grassroots rebellion, and the rising tide of the very structures she helped build.

    Whether she can regain her footing or be swept away by the new wave of NRM loyalists is a story only the next ballot can tell.

    Victory storms through Sironko as Hon. Florence Nambozo Wamala’s Empire crumbles like headless chicken

    Mutufu Town Council, Sironko District: It was a political earthquake. The kind that rumbles from the grassroots and shatters thrones once thought immovable. Today, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) office in Sironko District was a scene of roaring chants, ululations, and thunderous celebration as the tides turned completely and decisively against Hon. Florence Nambozo Wamala, the Minister for Karamoja and sitting Woman MP for Sironko District.

    In a dramatic twist that has sent shockwaves across the political corridors of Bugisu, all candidates aligned with the anti-Nambozo camp triumphed in every position they contested for during the NRM Structures Elections. But the crown jewel of the day’s victory was none other than Mr. Kiisa James, the indefatigable farmer-turned-political-warrior, who not only won the seat of General Secretary for Mutufu Town Council but sailed through unopposed—his path cleared by the weight of justice and a damning directive from the top electoral command.

    The Fall of a Minister

    Just yesterday, in a stunning intervention, Dr. Tanga Odoi, the NRM Electoral Commission Chairman, made an urgent pronouncement: Hon. Nambozo must withdraw her candidature for General Secretary of Mutufu Town Council. The reason? She was not eligible to contest for that seat, having come from a different Ward aligned with the Women’s League. The Minister, once known for her iron grip on Sironko politics, was publicly exposed for trying to exploit a loophole, and it backfired spectacularly.

    Crumbled: Hon. Florence Nambozo Wamala

    Eyewitnesses say the mood at the district NRM offices today was nothing short of electric. The moment it was confirmed that the Minister had been disqualified and that her rivals had swept the board, the crowd erupted into song, dance, and tears of vindication. “The mountain has finally moved!” one elder was heard shouting as he hoisted a party flag into the air.

    *Kiisa James: From Stroke to Symbol of Resistance*

    Few stories are as powerful as that of Kiisa James, the man who beat not just political odds, but personal tragedy. Last year, after being denied access to President Museveni during a visit to Mutufu, a move allegedly orchestrated by the Minister. Kiisa suffered a near-fatal stroke. Many thought he would never recover. But today, he stood tall, victorious, and vindicated, becoming the very symbol of a community’s resilience and the people’s will.

    “This is not just a win for Kiisa, it’s a win for all of Mutufu. For the neglected, the insulted, the intimidated, and those who were told they were nobodies,” shouted a youth leader, visibly emotional.

    Chaos Averted, But Tension Still Simmering

    Though security was tight and tensions ran high in the run-up to the announcement, no violence broke out today. Nambozo’s supporters were largely absent, with rumors swirling that she had retreated to Kampala following her public humiliation. “She knew the storm was coming,” one woman whispered. “She fled before the flood.”

    But behind the celebrations lies a sober truth. The events of the past week from the attempted election rigging, the vote-stuffing scandal, to the desperate reruns have painted a grim picture of a leader once feared but now reduced to political maneuvering and voter manipulation.

    The People’s Verdict

    Today, Sironko didn’t just elect new leaders. It rebuked tyranny. It reclaimed power. In doing so, it may have rewritten its political future. What was once whispered in homes and trading centers has now been shouted from the rooftops: Florence Nambozo no longer commands the people’s trust.

    As the NRM Secretariat in Kyadondo prepares to review the reports from Sironko, one thing is certain: the revolution in Mutufu is not just a local affair—it is a message to the entire nation.

    The people are watching. And this time, they’re not blinking.

  • From Power to Panic!! How Mutufu Brought a Minister to her knees

    From Power to Panic!! How Mutufu Brought a Minister to her knees

    The dramatic fall of Hon. Florence Nambozo at the hands of the very people she was meant to serve

    In the pre-dawn hours of May 19th, while most of Sironko lay quiet, the leadership of Mutufu Town Council had already hit the road, with determination blazing in their eyes and the Constitution in their hands.

    At exactly 4:00 AM, a delegation of 14 leaders departed Sironko Town Council and journeyed straight to the NRM Secretariat in Kyadondo, Kampala. Their mission? To confront the very core of power about one of the most shocking electoral disgraces in recent memory.

    At the centre of this political storm is none other than Hon. Florence Nambozo Wamala, the State Minister for Karamoja and Woman MP of Sironko District. But this time, her usual manoeuvres failed her.

    Her actions, once whispered in corners, have now been exposed in full daylight by the people of Mutufu, a town she underestimated and betrayed.

    Act 1: The Village Vote That Broke the Camels’ Backs

    It began at the grassroots. At the village level, what should have been a peaceful democratic process turned into a circus of manipulation. Hon. Nambozo allegedly tore up the official voter register on the 6th of May. She offered UGX 10 million to her opponent to bow out, and when that failed, she reportedly paid UGX 500,000 per vote to handpick her win. Even worse, she imported voters from other villages, enrolled the elderly and men in a Women’s League election, and carried out the ultimate insult: running an illegal vote on May 7th.

    It was only the swift intervention of the NRM Secretariat, under the supervision of Mr. Emmanuel Dombo from the NRM headquarters, that brought temporary order to the mess she had created.

    Act 2: A Parish-Level Switch-Up That Violated Every Rule

    Realizing she had lost ground in her own home parish, Hon. Nambozo made a bold but unlawful move, nominating herself in a neighbouring parish, and hid it so that no other person could be nominated. This bold and shameless breach of electoral protocol not only exposed her desperation but revealed her utter disregard for party guidelines and electoral integrity.

    Act 3: The Sub-County Scam

    But the drama didn’t stop there. At the sub-county level, instead of staying within the women’s league where she had initially registered, Hon. Nambozo attempted to contest for the General Secretary position in the mainstream structure. This was the final nail. Her chaotic political manoeuvring had crossed every boundary, both ethical and procedural, violating the NRM Election Guidelines 2025. FIRST disruption at the sub county level was on the 16th and then 17th.

    The Day of Reckoning in Kyadondo

    At the NRM Secretariat in Kyadondo, Kampala, the 14-member delegation from Mutufu was welcomed by Dr. Tanga Odoi, Chairperson of the NRM Electoral Commission. After laying out the full list of irregularities, Dr. Tanga Odoi did the unexpected. He called Hon. Nambozo on speakerphone and demanded a response before the very people she had betrayed.

    Cornered and out of excuses, the State Minister mumbled a stunning defence: “I didn’t know the rules.”
    To which Dr. Odoi fired back:
    *“Madam Minister, phones exist for a reason. He reminded her that she had a responsibility to consult with the Secretariat or visit in person if unsure about procedural matters.

    Dr. Odoi condemned her actions, asserting that she owed an apology to the electorate and the NRM leadership. He directed her to issue a formal apology and stated that she would not be permitted to stand for the district chairperson position until the President’s office reviewed and approved her letter.

    The people of Mutufu, emboldened by Dr. Tanga Odoi’s decisive stance, are resolute in their demand for accountability and transparency. They have made it clear: they are no longer willing to tolerate electoral manipulation and are determined to restore integrity in their political processes. The unfolding scenario underscores a broader call for ethical leadership and the unwavering vigilance of the people of Sironko.

  • Honourable Nambozo Florence chased like a Chicken Thief Over Mutufu Town Council Elections

    Honourable Nambozo Florence chased like a Chicken Thief Over Mutufu Town Council Elections

    In a dramatic turn of events, the recent elections in Mutufu Town Council have been spoilt by allegations of fraud and chaos, centring around Honourable Nambozo Florence.

    Tensions escalated when it was discovered that Nambozo had allegedly secured her win through fraudulent means, with five extra votes unaccounted for in the voter register.

    Outraged by the apparent electoral malpractice, the opposing team and supporters immediately protested the results. They headed to the NRM District Secretariat at the Sironko Town Council headquarters to file their grievances. In a bid to escape the furious crowd, Nambozo fled the scene in a panic, likened to a “chicken thief,” and unfortunately knocked down two individuals in her haste.

    Hon. Nambozo Florence is facing it tough in Sironko District NRM elections

    One victim was the daughter of Madam Rhoda, the first female LCIII Chairperson in Uganda’s government structures, and the other was the child of Mr. Manana, a prominent businessman in Mutufu Town Council.

    Seeking refuge, Nambozo rushed to the NRM offices in Sironko Town Council, a place she had previously vowed never to enter due to its association with Mr. Lumolo, the builder of the facility and also the NRM District Chairman. Cornered and fearing for her safety, she sought protection inside the offices. The enraged crowd, accompanied by boda-boda riders, pursued her to the headquarters, demanding justice for the electoral fraud and the injuries caused.

    Inside the NRM offices, the District Chairperson was called upon to address the situation. The NRM Administrator, Mr. Wambaka Wilson read out the NRM Election Guidelines 2025, citing Section 14(b)(3) to highlight the irregularities and the need for a fair resolution. Police and the military were summoned to prevent any violence, ensuring Nambozo’s safety while the community awaited a transparent investigation and resolution, the crowds were only able to calm down after their Chairman Mr Lumolo Mafabi had addressed them. Voting has been postponed to Tuesday 20th May 2025.

  • Minister Strikes Again!! Sironko Elections Plunged into Chaos as Irregularities Emerge in Mutufu Town Council, Sironko District

    Minister Strikes Again!! Sironko Elections Plunged into Chaos as Irregularities Emerge in Mutufu Town Council, Sironko District

    The political dust in Mutufu Town Council had barely settled after the disruption of elections on May 16th when yet another storm hit Sironko’s political stage. What was intended to be a fresh attempt at democratic expression on the 17th has instead deepened the wounds of mistrust, manipulation, and electoral fraud.

    In a shocking turn of events, Honorable Minister Nambozo Florence, who had previously fled the polling station after losing favor in the Women’s League election, returned to contest for the position of General Secretary. The voting exercise initially seemed peaceful until the final tally was announced: Hon. Nambozo secured 105 votes, while her opponent trailed closely with 101 votes.

    However, the registered number of eligible voters for the General Secretary position stands clearly at 201, which means five votes mysteriously appeared from an unknown source. These five ghost votes have thrown the entire electoral process into question. How did the total number of votes become 206 when only 201 voters were documented? Who authorized the inclusion of individuals not on the register?

    Hon. Florence Nambozo

    According to eyewitness reports and members of the opponent’s camp, every single supporter of the opposition candidate was verified on the official register and physically accounted for during the line-up. This means that the anomaly lies entirely within the minister’s camp, raising serious concerns about ballot stuffing, ghost voters, or deliberate manipulation of the process.

    Furious over the irregularity, the opponent’s team immediately protested, refusing to proceed with what they termed “a rigged and illegitimate exercise.” The elections were again halted indefinitely, plunging the NRM structure elections in Mutufu Town Council into a fresh crisis.

    Local residents and party faithful are now demanding urgent intervention from the NRM Secretariat, calling for a transparent audit of the voter register and an investigation into the growing pattern of electoral malpractice linked to the Honorable Minister. They argue that this is not just a matter of political rivalry but a deliberate abuse of power and betrayal of the democratic values that the National Resistance Movement (NRM) claims to uphold.

    One elder from Mutufu, visibly disappointed, remarked,
    “We have supported this party with our hearts, but what we are witnessing is not democracy; it is dictatorship in disguise. We are not fools, and we refuse to be cheated in broad daylight.”

    This is not the first time Minister Nambozo has been at the center of political controversy. The previous day’s events saw her storm out of the electoral venue after preliminary results showed she was trailing. Her team was accused of intimidation and tearing electoral materials, which forced the election officials to suspend the process altogether.

    Now, with a second disruption in two days, the people of Sironko are beginning to lose faith in the fairness of the NRM internal elections. The outcry is growing, not just for justice, but for accountability from those in power who are using their positions to manipulate democratic processes.

    The people of Mutufu are no longer whispering; they are speaking out loudly:
    “Justice must prevail, or the credibility of the NRM will forever be stained in Sironko.”

    As the nation watches closely, all eyes now turn to the NRM Secretariat: Will they stand with the truth, or will they allow political impunity to reign?
