As the NRM Party prepares for its National Delegates Conference scheduled for August 22, 2025, tensions are rising within several party leagues. Prominent figures have begun expressing interest in representing their respective leagues on the party’s top administrative organ, the Central Executive Committee (CEC).
One such league—the NRM Entrepreneurs League—has experienced significant internal shakeups. King Ceasor, a well-known businessman, recently declared his interest in becoming the National Chairman of the Entrepreneurs League, and has been traveling across the country seeking support.
He was first spotted in Kampala, meeting with a group of delegates from the league. According to reports, each delegate was given UGX 1 million, allegedly to influence their support. However, shortly after the meeting, many delegates criticized King Ceasor for what they described as ideological bankruptcy and lack of a clear agenda for entrepreneurs.
“Entrepreneurs believe in leaders who are well-versed in policy formulation and who are ready to champion favorable policies,” one delegate noted.
The NRM CEC is known to demand strategically minded, informed, and visionary leadership—qualities delegates felt King Ceasor lacked.
Despite this setback, King Ceasor has not withdrawn from the race. He continued his campaign in Bugisu and Karamoja, where he again met with delegates and reportedly handed each of them UGX 1 million. Yet even in these regions, his endorsement efforts were rejected, with delegates echoing earlier concerns about his lack of ideological clarity and policy depth.
This ongoing rejection appears to reflect a generational shift in leadership expectations. Delegates are increasingly prioritizing substance over financial inducement, seeking leaders who offer vision, policies, and meaningful representation.
With this shift in mindset, the NRM Entrepreneurs League seems poised to protect the interests of traders and entrepreneurs within the party’s leadership structure and beyond.
