Former Kampala Woman Member of Parliament, Nabilah Naggayi, has announced her political comeback and said she will contest the Kampala Lord Mayor seat in the 2026 general elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t given up. I\u2019m making a comeback and will be on the ballot for Lord Mayor\u2014as an independent candidate,\u201d Naggayi told a local TV station .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naggayi, who was defeated in the 2021 elections on the National Unity Platform (NUP) ticket by Erias Lukwago with 194,592 votes against her 60,082 said , “I chose to take a step back to understand what was going on,\u201d she explained. \u201cMy conclusion is that political parties today are not here to serve the people, but rather to advance selfish interests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have been observing NUP, and having been in FDC, I can say I was a whistleblower who spoke out about how it would eventually fall.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
