Kabale-Counsel Elvis Twenda, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) aspirant for the Ndorwa East parliamentary seat, has called upon voters to reject politics based on identity and refrain from violence and abusive language during the election period.
Twenda made the remarks while addressing a community gathering at Rwene Trading Centre in Rwene Parish, Buhara Subcounty, as part of his ongoing campaign trail across Ndorwa East County. The event brought together residents from five villages, underscoring Twenda’s growing grassroots mobilization efforts.
“Elections are a one-day event. Let us not allow our differences to divide us,” Twenda urged, emphasizing the need for civility, unity, and issue-based campaigning. “We should solicit votes in an organized and peaceful manner, free from hate speech and confrontation.”
Twenda pledged to focus on improving household incomes if elected, especially through supporting farmers with income-generating projects. He highlighted the importance of agriculture in the local economy and vowed to partner with stakeholders to empower rural communities.
The rally was attended by several prominent leaders from Buhara Subcounty, including Mrs. Annet Kabagambe, the LC5 Councilor for Buhara Subcounty; Nelson Tugumisirize, the LC3 Councilor for Rwene Parish; Justin Ahabwe, Councilor for Kafujo Parish and Deputy Speaker of Buhara Subcounty; and Tophil, the Speaker of Buhara Subcounty.
The event also attracted other aspirants contesting for various positions, among them Atusasire Apophia, who is vying for the LC5 Councilor seat for Buhara Subcounty, and George Byamukama, aspiring Chairperson for LC3 Buhara.
As the 2026 general elections approach, Twenda’s message of peace and development appears to be resonating with voters eager for a campaign season marked by tolerance, unity, and progress.
