Miles Rwamiti’s bid to unseat Leader of Opposition Hon. Joel Ssenyonyi from the Nakawa West constituency in 2026 elections has got massive boost.
His former colleagues at NTV Uganda and Spark TV have endorsed his bid. Rwamiti spent the better part of Friday at the Serena Conference Center based media house conglomerate, where he appeared on both TV’s show, Mwasuze Mutya.

After the show, his former workmates gave him a thumbs up in his bid for the MP seat where he he’ll take on a former colleague in Ssenyonyi.
According to sources, Ssenyonyi is very unpopular with his colleagues at NTV because of his ‘ego.’
We are told ever since he landed in Parliament, Ssenyonyi has distanced himself from his former colleagues, something that didn’t go well with them.
“He grew airs, he doesn’t speak to us anymore,” one ex workmate told us.
With this, it’s easy to see why they have endorsed Rwamiti in large numbers.
This endorsement comes days after the Coordinator of the Office of National Chairman (ONC) Hajjati Hadijja Namyalo said Forum For Democratic Change (FDC) member Miles Rwamiti “is ours” referring to him crossing to National Resistance Movement (NRM).
Hajjati Namyalo confirmed the rumor recently during Rwamiti’s graduation party at Royal Suites Bugolobi that he had joined NRM.
In her own words, Namyalo said Rwamiti ‘is now ours’ attracting ululations from attendees, including Kampala Central Member of Parliament Hon. Mohammad Nsereko.
Rwamiti who graduated with a Master’s degree in Business Administration (BBA) from Victoria University is set to take on Leader of Opposition (LoP) Joel Ssenyonyi for the Nakawa West Parliamentary seat.
He made his ambitions clear as he spoke to the media expressing his interest in running against National Unity Platform (NUP) incumbent and Leader of Opposition, Hon. Joel Sseyonyi Bisekezi.
And now it’s clear which party card he’ll seek ahead of the 2026 elections which kickoff next year.
For years, Rwamiti has been part of the opposition FDC leaning heavily to the Najanankumbi faction.
However, pals say he has been left frustrated often times by the party leadership who have been described as selfish by many.
But if we are to go by this latest election poster,
his frustrations with FDC can well be put to rest.
In the 2021 general election, Rwamiti contested for the Hoima East MP seat on the Federation For Democratic Change (FDC) party card.
Rwamiti believes Nakawa West constituency where he lives and resides is best suited for him.
