The Rubanda District Woman MP aspirant Jacqueline Katabazi has cautioned her supporters against violence ahead of the 2025-2026 electoral campaigns.
Ms. Katabazi made the remarks during a thanksgiving and fundraising ceremony at Kyokyezo Church of Uganda in Kirwa Village, Kyokyezo Parish, Nyamweru Subcounty, Rubanda District.
She noted that Rubanda District is infamous for electoral violence and extremist activities that usually climax on voting days, but her approach would be nonviolent and, therefore, expected her supporters to follow suit.
The current Woman MP for Rubanda District is Ms. Prossy Mbabazi Akampurira, who is serving her second term in office.
“It’s true that when we decide to contest against the incumbent MPs, we are convinced that they have failed to perform to our expectations, but abusing them or anything related to violence against them is wrong,” Ms. Katabazi said.
Ms. Katabazi used the same platform to caution Ugandans against selling their votes. She urged people to keep demanding better and improved service delivery as the only reason for engaging in political activities.
“Avoid accepting to sell your vote at any price because you’re going to have to wait for five more years to get that money again,” she said.
Ms. Katabazi contributed Shs. 1 Million out of the 1.2 million that Christians were mobilizing to make electric wire installations at Kyokyezo Church of Uganda.
