NRM Women League Chairperson (CEC), Hon. Adrine Kobusingye, has urged women leaders in Rubirizi District to unite and intensify grassroots mobilization ahead of President Yoweri Museveni's campaign visit scheduled for Wednesday, December 3, as part of his tour of the Ankole Sub-region.
According to the official Presidential Campaign Programme, the President will conclude his Ankole engagements with visits to Mitooma and Rubirizi Districts on December 3, following earlier stops in Ntungamo, Isingiro, Kazo, Kiruhura, Buhweju, Ibanda, Rwampara, Mbarara, and Sheema.
Following tensions between Amanya Judith and Arinaitwe Jeniva Nalongo after the NRM primaries—where Arinaitwe won with 27,653 votes against Amanya’s 18,088—Kobusingye is now urging the two to reconcile and unite in mobilizing support for President Museveni.
Addressing women leaders at Eden Gardens in Katara Trading Centre, Kicwamba Subcounty, Kobusingye called for unity amid the divisions that emerged during the primaries.
“Let us reconcile and move forward together. Supporting independent candidates only weakens our structures,” she said. “As women, we are role models in our communities. We must lead by example and mobilize for President Museveni.”
She encouraged women to promote family savings, economic empowerment, and peaceful homes, noting that these are essential for community transformation. Kobusingye also launched a women’s SACCO under the Adrine Foundation and pledged Shs 5 million to support its activities.
Rubirizi District NRM Women’s League Chairperson, Judith Amanya, said the meeting marked the official launch of the women’s grassroots mobilization drive for President Museveni ahead of the 2026 elections.
“Our message is simple: All Women for Museveni,” Amanya said. “We have put the primaries behind us. It is time to work together and empower women to fight poverty.”
Ninsiima Prudence, Lady Councillor for Kashenyi Parish, encouraged women to support development efforts at household and community levels.
“Let’s work hard, save, and build prosperous families. This meeting helps us clear misunderstandings and strengthens NRM structures as we prepare for victory,” she noted.
Mobilization activities are expected to continue across all subcounties in Rubirizi as the district prepares to host the President.
