Shafiq Kabandize, the NRM aspiring MP for Makindye East, is running a campaign to win over voters. Recently, he invested Shs11 million into community projects in Wabigalo Parish. These projects support youth, women, and ghetto youth Saccos. Kabandize wants to tackle the area’s economic struggles. His goal is to shift the traditionally opposition-leaning Makindye East toward the NRM and improve the lives of his constituents.
Local leaders like LC2-elect Katumba Moses have backed Kabandize. Moses pointed out that Wabigalo Parish has the largest youth population in Makindye East. Many are hardworking but lack capital to expand their businesses. Kabandize’s funding will help them grow and improve the local economy.
Kabandize’s vision goes beyond financial aid. He is dedicated to empowering youth, women, and the elderly. He wants to meet their immediate needs and secure their long-term well-being. During his visit to Wabigalo Parish, Kabandize received a warm welcome. He said, “My priority is to address the struggles our people face, and I’m committed to making a positive impact.”
Moreover, Kabandize has criticized the current MP, Derric Nyeko from NUP. He accuses Nyeko of neglecting his supporters after winning a seat in Parliament. This criticism has sparked more interest in Kabandize’s candidacy, as voters want a leader who prioritizes their needs.
As the elections approach, Makindye East voters must decide whether to continue with the current leadership or support Shafiq Kabandize. His focus on community support, youth empowerment, and women’s development makes a strong case for his candidacy. With growing support, Kabandize is gaining momentum and could be the next MP for Makindye East.
