Bundibugyo District is on the verge of a political shift. As the 2026 general elections approach, a new generation of leaders is stepping into the spotlight — youthful, visionary, and ready to challenge the status quo. Among them are women, youth, and grassroots changemakers who are not just seeking office but demanding a seat at the table where decisions are made.
Woman MP Race: Youthful, Tight & Transformative
The 2026 Woman MP race in Bundibugyo has become one of the most talked-about political contests in the district. It’s not just tight — it’s refreshingly youthful, featuring eight powerful women in their 30s and early 40s. These aspiring leaders bring a vibrant blend of fresh ideas, energy, and real-world experience to the political scene.
These candidates are rooted in community service, with strong records in education, healthcare advocacy, women's empowerment, and youth engagement. Their campaigns are focused on practical issues such as maternal health, girls’ education, economic opportunities for women, and gender-based violence.
One candidate stated during a community forum in Bubukwanga, “We’re not just standing to be seen. We are standing to serve, to represent the voices of women and youth who are often overlooked.”
Their presence is igniting hope among Bundibugyo’s citizens — especially among the younger population who feel this generation of female leaders truly speaks their language.
Bwambale Geoffrey: A Bold Youth Voice for Bughendera County
Another standout figure in Bundibugyo’s political wave is Bwambale Geoffrey, who has declared his intention to contest for Member of Parliament for Bughendera County under the National Unity Platform (NUP).
Known for his vocal support of youth involvement in governance, Bwambale has been a strong advocate for inclusive leadership, education, entrepreneurship, and civic participation. He represents a generation that no longer wants to be used for political rallies — they want to lead and shape policy.
“Youth can no longer be used as tools for political mobilization and then left behind,” Bwambale recently told a gathering in Busaru. “It’s our time to lead, and to bring a new sense of accountability and action to Parliament.”
Bwambale’s growing grassroots support, especially among unemployed youth and first-time voters, highlights the growing demand for authentic representation and change.
Sebindire Kule: Youth Leadership from the Grassroots
At the local government level, fresh leadership is emerging in town councils and sub-counties across Bundibugyo. Among these rising stars is Sebindire Kule, who is vying for the seat of District Councilor representing Ntandi Town Council.
Sebindire is widely recognized for his community mobilization efforts, youth empowerment projects, and active participation in local development. His campaign promises a strong focus on transparency, effective service delivery, and inclusive decision-making.
“Young people must move from being spectators to being leaders. Change begins at the grassroots,” Sebindire said in an interview with Bundibugyo Spotlight.
His candidacy symbolizes a wider trend of youth rising to take responsibility for the future of their communities — not just through words but through direct action and participation in governance.
