In the recent past, the former East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) representative Fred Denis Mukasa Mbidde oratory gun had been turned against an escaped of the Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine, sparking speculations from his loyalists (Wine) and some political observers that he may be after something big.
Relatedly, Mbidde who is also the DP vice president, has been hitting out hard at his party president Nobert Mao’s current speakership bid, reasoning that he has never been consulted by his own party-Laroo Pece candidate, thus publicly declaring his support to the NRM party 2nd national vice chairperson (female) also an incumbent speaker Anita Among.
Likening the above to his un successful attempt for Buweekula parliamentary seat in the just concluded January 15, 2026 election, insinuations have been spreading around that he may be chocking on debts.
Now, what Blazer News Times is gathering from the corridors of power is that, an eloquent politician and a lawyer is after Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga’s East African Community Affairs (EAC) Ministerial job, that his lobbying for it has gained intensity. The former parliament speaker Kadaga is also currently the 1st deputy prime minister.
Sources allege that Mbidde’s intensified lobbying for the EAC Affairs ministry job is informed by his wealth of experience in the regional legislative agenda, dating back from his regional parliamentary back ground.
According to sources, the Buweekula county MP candidate in the 2026 polls is also premising his lobby on Kadaga’s perceived frost relationship with the appointing authority (president Museveni).
They further allege that his current sweet relationship with an incumbent speaker Among is such another essential tool that is being deployed by him to build the bridge with the appointing authority.
This news Website tried to establish from sources as to why the 2nd top DP leader in hierarchy could not automatically gain a ministerial appointment like his boss based on their party’s entered Cooperation Agreement with NRM’s government principal, but could not provide response.
However, our efforts to seek a comment from Mbidde were futile. Whether that job will be given to him is a matter that squarely falls within the decision of president Museveni.
