Joseph Sewava Declares Himself Most Qualified NRM Vice Chairman Candidate, Calls On Competitors To Withdraw. Joseph Mukasa Sewava has stirred controversy in the race for NRM Vice Chairman of Buganda by publicly declaring himself the most qualified candidate and calling on his competitors to withdraw from the race.
 In a bold statement, Sewava asserted that he possesses unmatched grassroots support, a deep understanding of Buganda's political landscape, and a clear vision for the region's development, making him the ideal choice for the position.
 His challenge is directed at high-profile contenders, including current NRM Buganda Chairman Godfrey Kiwanda Ssuubi, State Minister for Microfinance Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo, and prominent party mobilizer Moses Karwanga. Â
Political analysts are divided on Sewava’s strategy.
Some see it as a confident move to position himself as the frontrunner, while others warn it could backfire by alienating senior party members.Â
The NRM Electoral Commission is expected to release the final list of candidates soon, and the outcome of this race could have significant implications for the party’s mobilisation efforts in Buganda ahead of the 2026 elections.Â
As the contest heats up, all eyes are on whether Sewava’s rivals will heed his call to step aside or if they will dig in for a fierce delegate battle.Â
Either way, this showdown promises to be a defining moment in NRM’s Buganda leadership politics.
