Kyanamukaka:- Masaka residents on Saturday staged a colourful thanksgiving to celebrate State Minister for Microfinance Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo’s election as the NRM National Vice Chairperson for Buganda Region, a seat on the party’s powerful Central Executive Committee (CEC).
The celebration, held at Kyanamukaka Sub-county, drew hundreds of supporters, local leaders and religious figures who filled the grounds with music, dance and ululations.
Resident District Commissioners from across greater Masaka joined NRM flag bearers and clergy from different faiths, giving the gathering the feel of a regional festival.
Mr Kasolo, visibly elated, credited the victory to his supporters and NRM delegates, saying it reflected Buganda’s unity.
“This result belongs to you. What we are celebrating today is our collective commitment to strengthening the party,” he told the crowd.
Local NRM leaders praised him as a dependable figure who has consistently bridged the gap between national leadership and grassroots communities.
One NRM flag bearer described his victory as “a clear sign of his hard work,” adding that Kasolo “has never forgotten us, and today we celebrate one of our own.”
Looking ahead, Kasolo pledged to use his new CEC mandate to strengthen NRM structures in Buganda, support party candidates, and ensure the ruling party remains responsive to the needs of local communities as the 2026 general elections draw closer.
