In an exciting development for Uganda’s political scene, Phiona Nyamutoro, the esteemed State Minister for Energy and Mineral Development (Minerals), has declared her candidacy for the Nebbi District Woman Representative position in the upcoming 2026 general elections.
Currently representing the youth in the 11th Parliament, Nyamutoro is stepping into a political arena that promises to be intensely competitive. Her entry undoubtedly adds a compelling twist to the race for this coveted seat.
The current representative for this district, Agnes Acibu, also a member of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), now faces a formidable challenge from Nyamutoro. As these two powerful women clash, the dynamics within the party could shift dramatically, altering Nebbi District’s political landscape forever.
In a touching and symbolic moment, Nyamutoro chose Mother’s Day to unveil her plans, merging her political aspirations with a heartfelt homage.
On her X (formerly Twitter) account, she shared a poignant campaign image and expressed, “Nebbi has mothered many great and significant citizens for our nation, and now it’s time for me to shine. Happy Mother’s Day!”
While her political experience is commendable, Nyamutoro’s connection to the entertainment world, particularly her relationship with the beloved musician Eddy Kenzo, amplifies her public persona, potentially attracting a diverse audience, especially younger voters.
