As Uganda Christian University (UCU) gears up for the highly blistering five-day Association of Ugandan University Sports (AUUS) games tournament, preparations continue in terms of sport facility renovations and redevelopment. 

Former students of Uganda Christian University (UCU) mobilised and renovated the home of Mr. Ben Bella Illakut, in his ancestral village of Komolo, Aka Dot, Mukongoro Sub-county in Kumi District. Mr Illakut was a founding member of the Department of Mass Communication.

Rt. Rev. Assoc. Prof. Fred Sheldon Mwesigwa, Bishop of Ankole Diocese represented the Chancellor, the Most Rev. Dr. Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu, and praised Prof. Nyende for reaching this important academic level, saying it showed his hard work and deep knowledge. 

Although Mukono is currently a National Unity Platform (NUP) stronghold, its status as an opposition stronghold dates to more than 15 years ago. Nambooze first captured the seat in a dramatic do or die 2010 by-election on the Democratic Party (DP) ticket, defeating NRM’s Rev Peter Bakaluba Mukasa for Mukono County then. 

According to Mwesigye, the programme was inspired by her experiences witnessing the struggles of classmates. The initiative is designed to provide relief to students in need, particularly those at risk of falling behind because of unmet tuition deadlines.

An earlier opinion poll run by UCU Focus TV indicated that Muwanika was the favourite to win the seat leading the polls by 52%. During the Launchpad debate two days before voting day, Wangabira pushed through to speak amidst loud chants from Muwanika’s supporters that erupted momentarily during the debate.
