Sebamala’s electoral success is particularly notable given Ssekandi’s long-standing influence in Bukoto Central, where he served for 26 years. The significant margin of victory—9,916 votes to 4,902—reflects growing discontent among voters with traditional political leadership that has often been perceived as disconnected from their needs.
A native of Gulama village in Masaka District, Sebamala’s journey from humble beginnings to political prominence is marked by resilience and dedication to community service. His efforts to connect directly with constituents through initiatives aimed at youth engagement have solidified his reputation as a leader who listens and acts on behalf of his people.
As he gears up for his presidential campaign within DP, Sebamala emphasizes themes of loyalty and collective effort against poverty. “We can enter politics and still win because we have the support,” he stated confidently. With plans to engage deeply with DP structures across Uganda, he aims to address pressing issues while inspiring hope among citizens looking for transformative leadership in their country’s future.
