Cross-Regional Backing
Beyond Eastern Uganda, Mukula’s campaign has gained traction in other regions, with delegates and local leaders expressing confidence in his ability to deliver NRM’s agenda. His extensive experience as a former MP, minister, and longtime party mobilizer has bolstered his appeal among grassroots supporters.
Mukula’s Vision for the Eastern Region
Speaking at a recent rally, Mukula pledged to enhance service delivery, strengthen party discipline, and advocate for development projects in the region. “I am committed to ensuring that the NRM remains strong in the East. Together, we shall continue to champion President Museveni’s vision for prosperity,” he said.
