As the National Resistance Movement (NRM) campaigns officially kick off tomorrow, 4th July 2025, the Rukungiri Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Steven Nsubuga Bewayo, has called on all aspiring candidates and their agents to conduct peaceful and lawful campaigns.
While addressing candidates at a meeting held today in the Rukungiri District Council Hall, Nsubuga emphasized the importance of adhering to campaign guidelines to ensure smooth and peaceful primaries.

He also urged voters to participate in the process wisely, reminding them that elections will pass, but community life must continue in harmony.
