Emerging information shows that PDP President Abed Bwanika (Presidential candidate for 3 times) must have been born politically unlucky. Having concluded he can’t be elected President, Bwanika tactfully jumped on Bobi’s People Power calling himself chairman of its High Command.
But fearing to be misunderstood by Ugandans who consider Bwanika a 5th columnist in the opposition, Bobi Wine sidelined Bwanika effectively neutralizing his claim to be a big man in PP. Bwanika has since retreated from National politics to concentrate on local Lwengo politics where he wants to represent Bukoto South as the MP.
Riding on the DP Bloc alliance where he is a big man, Bwanika had declared himself the DP candidate for the position. However, the DPs in Lwengo have since rejected him demanding that he must dissolve his PDP party first and officially join DP rather than duping them. Instead the original DP diehards in Lwengo have fronted former Zambogo President Hakim Kiiza of UYD to be the flag bearer for DP against incumbent Hajji Muyanja Mbabali.
Abed Bwanika’s bid has been further deflated after his native Kiteredde parish was cut off from Bukoto South to become part of Masaka City which becomes operational next FY. In de-campaigning Bwanika, Hakim Kiiza DP supporters are referring to news that his PDP PA Benjamin Kivumbi recently came out to thank Museveni for secretly paying his tuition fees at Ndejje University and for funding his wedding to princess Scovia. Abed Bwanika has remained quiet at a time DP diehard expected him to say something about Benjamin Kivumbi’s shocking revelations.
