Ssemogere and other contestants who included UPM\u2019s Museveni disputed the results on allegations that the ballot had been stolen by Obote and led to the bush war that was shortly launched by Museveni\u2019s guerrilla outfit -the PRA (People\u2019s Resistance Army) which was later named the NRA (National Resistance Army.) Others who started armed rebellions included Andrew Kayiira with his UFM (Uganda Freedom Movement.). Both guerrilla outfits largely operated in Buganda region and led to the death of hundreds of thousands of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the five year bush war in Luwero triangle where Museveni emerged victorious and captured power in 1986, Ssemogerere was invited to serve in cabinet and was given the portfolio\u00a0 of Minister of \u00a0Internal Affairs from 1986 to 1988 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n A staunch Catholic ,Ssemogerere was a constant at Rubaga Cathedral and would spend his leisure evening time at Paul Pope Memorial Center in Ndeba Rubaga North constituency with some of his friends and people he mentored politically -including the former Speaker of Parliament and Vice President Edward Ssekandi .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ssemogerere was born on February 11, 1932, in the present-day Kalangala District. In 1980 and 1996, Ssemo, as he was popularly known, ran for president. For his selfless service to his country Uganda and Buganda Kingdom, he was recently honored by Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi with a peace award, (ejjinja ely’omuwendo).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Veteran politician and one of President Yoweri Museveni \u2018s original allies in Buganda regional politics Dr. Paul Kawanga Ssemogerere has died <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7315,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[160,244],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-a-man-of-his-word"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/images-2.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7409,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/parliament-pays-tribute-to-the-late-dr-ssemogerere\/","url_meta":{"origin":7314,"position":0},"title":"Parliament pays tribute to the late Dr. Ssemogerere","author":"MOSES SSERWANGA","date":"November 25, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Member of parliament \u00a0from across the political divide \u00a0paid glowing tribute to the late Dr. Paul Kawanga Ssemogerere, the former \u00a0leader of the Democratic Party for 25 years, and one of the main players in Uganda\u2019s political journey since independence .\u00a0 Dr. Ssewogerere aged 90 years passed on November 18,\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "National News"","block_context":{"text":"National News","link":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/category\/national-news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/taye.jpg","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/taye.jpg 1x, https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/taye.jpg 1.5x, https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/taye.jpg 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":2967,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/pope-francis-appoints-like-minded-bishop-ssemogerere-to-take-over-departed-archbishop-lwangas-duties\/","url_meta":{"origin":7314,"position":1},"title":"Pope Francis Appoints Like-minded Bishop Ssemogerere to Take Over Departed Archbishop Lwanga’s Duties","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"April 8, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"Pope Francis has appointed the bishop of Kasana Luwero Paul Ssemogerere as the Apstolic Administrator of Kampala Archdiocese.The appointment was announced by the Apostolic Nuncio (Pope's representative) to Uganda during the burial ceremony of Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga inside Lubaga Cathedral\u00a0 this afternoon.The Chairman of the Uganda Episcopal Conference who\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "Breaking News"","block_context":{"text":"Breaking News","link":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/category\/breaking-news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bishop-Paul-Ssemwogerere.jpg","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":4793,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/pope-francis-appoints-bishop-ssemogerere-65-years-old-the-new-archbishop-of-kampala-arcdiocese\/","url_meta":{"origin":7314,"position":2},"title":"POPE FRANCIS APPOINTS BISHOP SSEMOGERERE 65 YEARS OLD THE NEW ARCHBISHOP OF KAMPALA ARCDIOCESE","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"December 14, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"Pope France has appointed Bishop Paul Ssemogerere the new Archbishop of Kampala archdiocese , according to the\u00a0Apostolic Nunciature to Uganda, Archbishop Luigi Bianco .
