NUP’s Nalukoola Sworn In as Kawempe North MP
The newly sworn-in legislator pledged to serve with integrity and diligence, promising to vigorously advocate for the needs of his constituents
Parliament of Uganda — Hon. Erias Nalukoola has this Wednesday officially been sworn in as the Member of Parliament for Kawempe Division North, following his victory in a hotly contested by-election.
The brief but symbolic ceremony was presided over by the Clerk to Parliament, with the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Anita Among, in attendance.
In his remarks after taking the oath, Hon. Nalukoola expressed deep gratitude to Speaker Among for swiftly facilitating his inauguration, allowing him to assume his duties without delay.
“I thank the Speaker for expediting my swearing-in and for upholding the principle that the people of Kawempe North must not be left without representation for any longer,” Nalukoola said.
“Today is not just about me. It is about the people whose voice I now carry into this chamber.”
The newly sworn-in legislator pledged to serve with integrity and diligence, promising to vigorously advocate for the needs of his constituents.
“Kawempe North faces many challenges—poor service delivery, unemployment, insecurity, and health system gaps,” he said
“My role is to ensure that these issues are brought to the national agenda and addressed with urgency.”
Nalukoola’s entry into Parliament comes after a turbulent by-election marked by allegations of electoral violence and voter intimidation.
His victory was celebrated by the opposition, especially the National Unity Platform (NUP), which backed his candidacy.
Nalukoola replaces Hon Muhamad Ssegirinya who passed away earlier this year.
