Minister Norbert Mao, who insists on still being referred as DP President and therefore part of the broader opposition leadership, is this week expected to join other Museveni Ministers and propagandists at Makerere University where they will drum up support for the ruling party which naturally means annihilation for change-seeking forces.

Students’ leaders who are inclined to NRM are organizing what they are calling a grand event to be held inside auditorium of the Central Teaching Facility 2 at the Main campus where the opposition can these days not have a free ride anymore because of the very constraining environment the Barnabas Nawangwe-led administration has created for them.
According to one of the NRM event organizers Abias Musiime, Mao will be joining chief regime propagandist Chris Baryomunsi (also Minister of Information & National Guidance) and other Ministers to market the ruling party among students as one that deserves retention beyond 2026. The same event will be used to enthrone and mentor new NRM leaders who were elected to office during polling that was held on Friday 21st October this very year.
State House and the ruling party officials anticipate that this new NRM leadership at the Ivory Tower will be leveraged upon to deepen the popularity of the ruling party at the learneds’ hill (akasozi k’abayivu) so that the opposition gets obliterated away from each and every elective position at Makerere where Mao famously cut out his teeth as a budding politician back then in the early 1990s.
There is optimism among ruling party officials that the new NRM leaders at Makerere can ride on the recent changes that were effected on the guild constitution and the election procedures to cruise to victory at the subsequent guild, college and hall level elections. Besides Ministers and NRM Secretariat officials, several ruling party MPs are expected to grace the event, according to Magufuli Moses Mugisha another co-organizer.
