THERE was drama in Kamuli district, when police and supporters of First Deputy Prime minister Rebecca Kadaga ejected her rival from Kadaga’s function.

The dramatic scene unfolded at Nawanyago Primary School during the launch of the Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga (RAK) initiative, when police and supporters removed Kamuli District Female Youth Councillor Noet Nangobi from the event.

The incident, which took place on Friday, October 4, 2024, occurred as Kadaga, who has been Kamuli District Woman Representative since 1996, presided over the launch of her initiative aimed at improving the lives of the people of Kamuli.

Witnesses report that Nangobi, who is seen as a political rival to Kadaga, was surrounded by police officers and escorted out amidst cheers from Kadaga’s supporters.

The expulsion of Nangobi reportedly energized the dignitaries and local residents who had gathered for the event. Many in the crowd applauded the move, demonstrating the significant support that Kadaga continues to enjoy within her constituency.

This confrontation highlights the growing political tensions in Kamuli District, where Kadaga, a seasoned politician with nearly three decades of experience, remains a formidable figure.

Nangobi’s removal from the event underscores the fierce competition among local leaders as they vie for political dominance ahead of upcoming elections.

Meanwhile, sources close to Kadaga’s camp insist that the move was necessary to prevent disruptions to the event.

As the political landscape in Kamuli continues to evolve, such incidents are likely to intensify as rival factions fight for control in the region.
