In 2016, he went in the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party primaries for Kawempe North but did not secure the nomination. However, he was elected as the Lord Councillor for Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), representing Kawempe North.
In 2021 he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Kawempe North on the NUP ticket, defeating nine other candidates, including the incumbent Abdulatif Ssebagala Ssengendo and former Deputy Lord Mayor Sulaiman Kidandala.
He was summoned by the Uganda Police Force over alleged involvement in rebel activities in the Greater Masaka region in September 2021. Subsequently charged with multiple counts, including murder and attempted murder, and remanded to Kitalya Maximum Security Prison.
He was released on bail after spending about 17 months in prison in February 2023. Upon release, he expressed intentions to regain his prominence on social media.
In August 2023, he travelled to the Netherlands for medical treatment at Amsterdam Universitair Medische Centra, addressing health issues reportedly resulting from alleged torture during his incarceration, and he was discharged from Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi after a six-month treatment period in June 2024.
In conclusion, the late Muhammad Ssegirinya was declared dead on January 9, 2025, at 12:10 pm by Rubaga Hospital officials. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
