Nyajura, MPs Seek Spiritual Blessings From Owobusobozi Ahead Of Nominations

As parliamentary nominations gathered momentum across the country, Kampala City Deputy Lord Mayor Doreen Nyajura made an unusual stop in Kyejonjo District, joining a group of politicians at Rugombe Intambiro to seek blessings from Omukama Ruhanga Owobusobozi Bisaka.

Nyajura, a prominent member of the People’s Fort for Freedom (PFF), spent three days at the Faith of Unity’s spiritual center where the religious leader conducted prayers for healing, unity, and wisdom among both incumbent and aspiring legislators.

During the gathering, Owobusobozi Bisaka emphasized the value of harmony among leaders, urging them to prioritize the interests of the nation above personal ambition. His message resonated with hundreds of followers who had gathered from various districts, many of whom later chose to join the Faith of Unity after listening to his teachings. Organizers said more than 200 people were converted during the event, drawn by the message of collective responsibility and spiritual renewal.

Speaking to the congregation, Owobusobozi underscored the importance of self-reliance and loyalty to homegrown spiritual systems, urging followers to support the Faith’s calendar that prescribes rest and healing on the 2nd, 12th, and 22nd of every month. “Our faith guides us to work with discipline and rest with purpose. We do not depend on outside religions or calendars, for our strength is within our unity,” he said, drawing loud applause from his followers.

Among those who attended were several politicians from western Uganda, including David Muhumuza, the Member of Parliament for Mwenge North, and Paul Asaba Nsabimana, the Kyaka North legislator. Both leaders expressed admiration for Owobusobozi’s efforts to reconcile people of different political affiliations and promote community development through faith-based teachings. “He reminds us that leadership is a calling to serve with humility,” Muhumuza noted, while Nsabimana commended the Faith’s contribution to social cohesion in Kyejonjo and neighboring districts.

Nyajura, who is eyeing the Mwenge Central parliamentary seat, described the experience as spiritually enriching and said she believed Uganda’s politics could benefit from moral guidance rooted in faith and unity. “In moments like these, we are reminded that leadership is not about division but about healing our communities,” she told journalists after the event.

Owobusobozi, who has over the years maintained a significant following in western Uganda, announced that he would hold another prayer and teaching session in Kampala Bukwenda at Nsambya Intambiro from the 14th to the 16th of next month. The meeting, he said, will focus on promoting unity and mobilizing communities to support national development efforts. Local leaders close to the Faith said the upcoming Kampala event is also expected to attract political figures and civic leaders seeking blessings ahead of the next election cycle.

As the nomination season unfolds, the sight of politicians from different backgrounds gathering under one spiritual roof underscores how religion and politics continue to intersect in Uganda’s public life. For Owobusobozi’s followers, his message of unity carries both spiritual and political weight, while for the politicians who seek his counsel, the Faith of Unity offers something beyond prayer—a reminder that moral authority still matters in the country’s turbulent political landscape.
