The ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) is set to hold its party primaries for mayoral candidates across all districts this Thursday, July 24.
In Mbarara City, all eyes are on Seth Murari—a name that has steadily grown in popularity, especially among the youth who make up the bulk of the city’s electorate. Widely recognized for his commitment to sports and youth empowerment, Murari has emerged as a symbol of inspiration and progressive leadership.
Many young people in Mbarara view Murari’s bid for mayor as a long-awaited opportunity to support someone who has consistently advocated for their needs. His involvement in organizing sports tournaments and community activities has fostered unity and strengthened grassroots networks, even without holding an official political role.
From social media platforms to the streets of Mbarara, Murari’s name is often associated with hope, energy, and forward-thinking. His impact has already been felt through various youth-centered initiatives that have brought real change to local communities—earning him praise beyond traditional political circles.
Murari remains confident ahead of Thursday’s primaries, expressing optimism about his chances and readiness to elevate Mbarara City to greater heights.
A former key figure in the Office of the National Chairman (ONC), Murari played a vital role in re-engaging disillusioned youth, especially in Kampala, and later expanded his outreach to Mbarara. His focus on practical empowerment rather than political rhetoric has helped reposition him as a transformative leader within the NRM and beyond.
