The Member of Parliament for Bukimbiri County, Hon. Eddie Kwizera Wa-Gahungu, has announced his intention to summon his 2021 political opponents for the Bukimbiri parliamentary seat to discuss how they can collaborate as a unified team.
Kwizera emphasized that the development of Bukimbiri requires cooperation from leaders at all levels. Speaking to our reporter today, Kwizera mentioned that, as the area MP, he is preparing to call upon all politicians, including those not currently holding leadership positions, to brainstorm ideas for the coordinated development of the county.
Kwizera pointed out that he has identified numerous developmental gaps in the county, many of which stem from political conflicts.
Former Bukimbiri County parliamentary contender Izidol Tumusiime welcomed Kwizera’s initiative, stating that it is crucial for fostering unity in addressing Bukimbiri’s issues.
However, Kwizera’s close rival in the 2026 parliamentary elections, Asgario Turyagyenda, questioned the agenda of the proposed meeting, suggesting it is politically motivated. He did not confirm whether he would attend the meeting if summoned, noting that he has never received a phone call from MP Kwizera.
