KAMPALA DECIDES IT’S NEXT LORD MAYOR

Across Kampala’s five divisions, a clear shift is taking place. Markets, neighborhoods, community halls, and streets are alive with conversation—not about slogans, but about leadership, service, and the future of the city. At the center of this momentum is Beatrice Mao’s campaign for Lord Mayor, steadily building strength through direct, one-on-one engagement with the people of Kampala.

From Nakawa to Kawempe, Makindye to Rubaga, and through Kampala Central, the campaign has taken a deliberate approach: meeting voters where they live and work. These personal interactions—listening to traders, youth, women, professionals, and elders—have transformed political engagement from distant rallies into meaningful dialogue. The response has been overwhelming, with residents expressing a renewed sense of inclusion and ownership in the city’s future.

Rather than relying solely on mass messaging, the campaign’s strength lies in presence. Beatrice Mao has consistently chosen to walk markets, visit communities, and hold conversations that focus on real issues—waste management, infrastructure, jobs, digital systems, and dignity in service delivery. This hands-on approach has resonated strongly, especially among voters who feel overlooked by traditional politics.

Support is growing across all divisions, cutting across age, profession, and background. The message is simple but powerful: Kampala needs leadership rooted in service, systems, and accountability. As voters engage directly with the candidate, many are shifting from uncertainty to confidence, seeing a leader who understands the city not as a political prize, but as a shared responsibility.

As the campaign continues, one thing is increasingly clear—Kampala’s decision will not be shaped only by posters or speeches, but by trust built face-to-face. In homes, markets, and streets across the city, the conversation is no longer about waiting for change, but about choosing it.

Kampala is deciding. And it is doing so through connection, participation, and a growing belief that leadership can work differently—and better.
