Kazibwe’s defection follows the expression of interest by Bobi Wine’s brother, Fred Nyanzi Ssentamu, to contest for the Kawempe South MP seat in the 2026 general elections.
Chairman Nyanzi submitted his credentials to the National Unity Platform (NUP) Election Management Committee, expressing interest in contesting for the Kawempe South MP seat on the party’s ticket on Friday, 20th June, 2025.
Kaziibwe won the 2021 elections with 26,855 votes under the National Unity Platform (NUP) Party, beating the NRM’s Solomon Mayanja, who managed 6,818 votes.
In the coming elections, we are going to see many members joining the Democratic Front party, for example, the likes of Honorable Abed Bwanika and Joyce Bagala, among others.
In conclusion, Kazibwe Bashir joining the Democratic Front party is a major boost to the party.
