Kimuli Louis Rallies Central Youth For Unity, Progress

By Gad Masereka

Nakasongola, Uganda — With just weeks to the NRM Youth League elections, Hon. Kimuli Louis has stepped up his bid for the Central Region Youth MP seat, embarking on an intensive tour that has taken him to nearly every corner of the region.

On Tuesday, he concluded a series of engagements in Nakasongola, where he met with youth delegates in what he described as a journey of “unity, transformation, and shared vision.”

Currently serving as Vice-Chairperson of the NRM Youth League in Rubaga, Kimuli has spent the past month traversing districts including Kayunga, Mukono, Mubende, Luwero, Wakiso, Entebbe, Kampala, Buikwe, and Kassanda.

His approach has combined listening sessions with practical discussions on youth empowerment, framed around the NRM’s broader wealth creation agenda. The gatherings have drawn delegates who see themselves not only as voters in the party primaries but as partners in shaping the region’s youth leadership for the next five years.

In Nakasongola, Kimuli spoke with conviction about the urgency of youth involvement in economic and political life. “Our generation cannot wait to be handed opportunities — we must create them, defend them, and ensure they reach every young person in our communities,” he told the assembled delegates.

He stressed that his campaign was not merely about winning a seat in Parliament, but about setting a precedent for active, youth-led change in Uganda’s development trajectory.

His entrepreneurial track record has informed much of his campaign messaging. He has pledged to push for the creation of innovation hubs in each district, greater access to youth capital, and partnerships designed to bridge the persistent gap between academic qualifications and job opportunities.

According to Kimuli, these initiatives would give young people the tools to become self-reliant while contributing meaningfully to their communities.

The NRM Youth MP flag bearer will be chosen through a competitive electoral college system made up of about 3,500 youth delegates from across the Central Region.

These delegates, drawn from district and sub-county youth councils, youth leagues, and other recognised party structures, are tasked with selecting a candidate who will carry the NRM flag into the national parliamentary elections. The process demands both strong personal networks and a credible agenda, making grassroots mobilisation a decisive factor in the outcome.

Party insiders say Kimuli’s wide reach and clarity of message have made him one of the frontrunners in the race. His ability to blend political ambition with practical development proposals has resonated with many delegates, particularly those eager to see youth leadership tied directly to economic progress.

As the election date draws near, his campaign shows no signs of slowing, with plans to return to key districts for final engagements before the delegates head to Kololo later this month.
