Following the conclusion of the Local Council Five (LCV) district chairperson and city mayoral elections held on Thursday, Trusted News Uganda has compiled a comprehensive list of candidates who emerged victorious across the Buganda region, along with their respective political parties.
The elections, which were largely peaceful, attracted lower voter turnout and saw a strong showing by the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) alongside notable gains by the opposition National Unity Platform (NUP), especially in urban and peri-urban areas.
Below is the full list of the elected LCV district chairpersons and city mayors in the Buganda region:
- Preston Kibirango – NUP, Luwero
- Francis Lukooya – NRM, Mukono
- Roger Semanda – NRM, Nakasongola
- George Wasswa – NUP, Buikwe
- Nairobi Gerald Kalunda – NRM, Kiboga
- Ignatius Koomu – NRM, Nakaseke
- Michael Ntambi – NRM, Mubende
- George Abigaba – NRM, Gomba
- Simon Peter Kawuki – NUP, Mpigi
- Julius Bulegeya – NRM, Bukomansimbi
- Samuel Ssekamwa – NRM, Rakai
- Khamadi Nyombi Mukiibi – NUP, Kalungu
- Peter Asasira – NRM, Kyotera
- Joseph Luzige Kamya – NRM, Mityana
- Ssemugaba Samuel – NRM, Kyankwanzi
- Ochieng Matia Nixon – NRM, Buvuma
- Moses Ali Ssemanda – NRM, Lyantonde
- Abasi Kizito – NRM, Lwengo
- Lunkuse Agnes – NRM, Kalangala
- Michael Ssemuyaba – NRM, Kasanda
- Ian Kyeyune – NRM, Wakiso
- Andrew Muwonge – NRM, Kayunga
- John Kakande – NRM, Masaka
City Mayors:
24. Ronald Nsubuga Balimwezo – NUP, Kampala (Lord Mayor)
25. Florence Namayanja – NUP, Masaka City
The results reflect a continued dominance of the NRM in rural districts, while NUP maintains strong influence in key urban centers.
