NUP gifted Anita Among a landslide victory for Bukedea WMP 2026

In a surprising political twist, the National Unity Platform (NUP) has made a big blunder to gift Speaker Anita Annet Among an easy path to victory in the Bukedea Woman MP race ahead of 2026. This follows NUP’s decision to front Mercy Alupo a rejected FDC aspirant instead of rallying behind the official FDC flag bearer, Hon Norma Susan Otai

It’s so unfortunate and un expected that the top leading opposition party Nup could choose to play in the gallery to divide the votes intended to dethrone Among, one of the regime’s most entrenched political figures. It’s of no doubt that NUP’s move has thrown the plan into disarray, sparking confusion, criticism, and disappointment among opposition supporters in Bukedea and beyond.

“ This is a self-inflicted defeat, ” one residence mobilizer from Teso lamented. “We had a strong candidate in Norma Susan Otai, and the momentum was growing. But this division hands Anita an early celebration.”

Political observers warn that the incident not only weakens opposition strength in Bukedea but also raises serious questions about the opposition’s readiness to lead the country. Many now view this as a painful reminder that disunity and ego may cost the opposition dearly in 2026.

As Anita Among’s camp gains confidence from a divided opposition, many in the region are left wondering: has NUP just handed her the seat on a silver platter or just fighting FDC success.
