Aspiring National Resistance Movement (NRM) Central Executive Committee (CEC) Vice Chairperson for Central Region, Mr. Hakim Kyeswa, has urged Ugandans to actively engage in the forthcoming electoral processes, describing citizen participation as the cornerstone of sustainable national development.
Speaking during an engagement with some party supporters in Kampala on Monday, Mr. Kyeswa said the vitality of Uganda’s democracy depends heavily on the willingness of citizens to exercise their electoral rights, beginning with the grassroots structures.
He described the elections as not merely a political exercise, but a vital generational cause, urging Ugandans to take full ownership of the democratic process.
“The destiny of our nation lies in the collective action of its people. It is imperative that all Ugandans recognize the power of their vote as an instrument of transformation. Participation in the electoral process is not optional, it is a civic duty. We must all embrace our shared responsibility in shaping the future of Uganda,” he emphasized.
He further highlighted the recently released NRM electoral roadmap, noting that expressions of interest for party structures at the village level are scheduled between 24th and 30th April 2025. Mr. Kyeswa encouraged all eligible individuals, particularly the youth and women, to take an active role in local leadership and decision-making structures.
“This is the time to demonstrate commitment to our country’s development. Genuine leadership begins at the grassroots level. By engaging now, we lay the foundation for a stronger and more inclusive Uganda,” he added.
Mr. Kyeswa, whose campaign is anchored on the slogans “The Generational Cause” and “Nothing for us without us,” continues to gain traction among emerging leaders and the broader electorate within the Central Region.
His message resonates strongly with Ugandans eager for leadership that emphasizes inclusion, responsiveness, and progressive governance.
In his closing remarks, Mr. Kyeswa called upon party loyalists and Ugandans across the political divide to focus on issues of governance, service delivery, and nation-building, rather than personal or partisan differences.
“The Central Region remains the political and economic heartbeat of Uganda, it is imperative that we approach these elections with unity, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the development of our people,” Mr. Kyeswa said.
