Fred Nyanzi Ssentamu (Chairman Nyanzi), the elder brother to Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu (Bobi Wine) has intensified his fight to oust Ssalongo Erias Lukwago from the Office of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Lord Mayor seat.
Two weeks back, Nyanzi met his core campaigners in one of the hotels in Lubaga Division Kampala city and confirmed to them that he will win the battle with Lukwago and assured them not worry about the money he will use come 2026.
Sources close to Nyanzi told TV10GanoMazima that Nyanzi told his people that he is in talks with a number of city tycoons who have assured him of full support.
“Our struggle is going to be international. Last year, I met business men from Dubai and I sold to them my plans for Kampala and how I will help them invest their money in Kampala and they were positive. So it is up to us to deliver the victory to rescue our city,” Nyanzi was quoted telling his people.
It is not surprising that city tycoons are supporting Nyanzi against Lukwago because for a long time, Lukwago has been fighting some of them claiming that they are mistreating people doing business in their buildings. He has also accused others of grabbing public land.
Businessmen Drake Lubega and Mansoor Yanga threatened to imprison Lukwago after accusing him of inciting people doing business in their building to drag them to court.
Insiders in NUP told TV10GanoMazima that it is going to be very difficult for Bobi Wine to stop Nyanzi from contesting against Lukwago even though he wants to cooperate with Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Katonga faction where Lukwago is president.
But before facing off with Lukwago, Nyanzi has to contest for NUP ticket for Lord mayorship with other NUP members like; Makindye Division mayor Kasirye Mulyanyama, Kawempe Division’s Emmanuel Sserunjogi and David Lewis Rubongoya the party Secretary General.
