NRM Entebbe Executive Suspends High-Profile Mobilizer Over Alleged Support for Independent Candidates
ENTEBBE – The National Resistance Movement (NRM) leadership in Entebbe is facing a brewing internal crisis following the controversial decision to suspend Ms. Nalwoga, one of the party’s most influential and hardworking cadres.
The suspension, which has sent shockwaves through the local political landscape, reportedly stems from allegations that Nalwoga and other members have been actively supporting independent candidates—a move the executive views as a breach of party discipline.
A Blow to the Leisure Park
Nalwoga is widely recognized for her leadership at the Entebbe Leisure Park, a key local hub managed under a tender arrangement. Her sudden removal has sparked immediate concerns regarding the stability of the park’s operations.
Observers are now questioning the logistics of her tenure: Can she maintain her position at the Leisure Park following a political suspension? Since the park is managed as a tender, the intersection of party politics and business contracts has created a murky legal and professional situation for the “working woman” of Entebbe.
“The decision to suspend such a popular cadre is a gamble. It highlights the growing tension between party loyalty and the rise of independent NRM-leaning candidates,” says a local political analyst.
The “Independent” Dilemma
The core of the dispute lies in a letter addressed to Nalwoga, detailing the executive’s dissatisfaction with her recent political associations. The NRM has been struggling to rein in “independents” who lose in primaries but run against official flagbearers in general elections. By penalizing a figure as prominent as Nalwoga, the Entebbe executive appears to be drawing a hard line in the sand.
However, with Nalwoga’s significant grassroots support, this suspension may complicate the party’s mobilization efforts as the election season heats up.
