Aloysius Mukasa- The People’s MP Still Standing Tall in Rubaga South
When Aloysius Mukasa first emerged onto the political scene in 2021, many doubted him. With no prior political background, he stunned the nation by clinching the Rubaga South parliamentary seat on the National Unity Platform (NUP) ticket. Mukasa managed to beat a long list of seasoned names from that of late Kato Lubwama (RIP) to Ken Lukyamuzi, Euginia Nassolo, and NRM’s Jamil Mpiima. That victory was not just a political surprise, it was a grassroots revolution.
Four years later, Mukasa remains a symbol of quiet resilience and committed service. While some critics try to spin a false narrative of silence and inactivity, the reality on the ground tells a different story. In Rubaga South, Mukasa is remembered not for grandstanding in Parliament, but for showing up where it matters most in communities, homes, and streets.
Under Mukasa’s leadership, Rubaga South has seen several community uplift projects that went unnoticed by the media but deeply appreciated by the people. Mukasa has quietly supported youth groups with vocational tools, helped struggling families with school fees and medical support, and worked with local leaders to improve garbage management and water access in underserved parishes like Mutundwe, Kabowa, and Ndeeba.
Unlike career politicians who talk more than they act, Mukasa has opted for a low profile, but a high impact approach letting action speak over hype.
Claims that Mukasa is disconnected from his constituency are largely political propaganda driven by those desperate to take his place. The fact is, Mukasa remains grounded and approachable. He has continued engaging with boda boda stages, market vendors, and religious leaders not for votes, but because that is where he belongs. He never abandoned the people who gave him their trust in 2021.
Insiders within NUP who are loyal to principle, not politics of personality, acknowledge Mukasa as a loyal cadre who has supported the party financially and morally even when others merely used NUP as a ladder to self gain.
To anticipate desperation among Challengers as talk of 2026 heats up, it is no surprise that a few ambitious individuals are attempting to rewrite history and cloud the future. Names like Euginia Nassolo and comedian Reign Obed Lubega have emerged, not because of credible records, but because of perceived popularity or connections.
Nassolo, who previously failed to win even with public sympathy, lacks consistent grassroots presence. Reign Obed, on the other hand, is better known for stage performances than any tangible community work. Rubaga South deserves serious leadership, not political experiments or recycled faces chasing relevance.
Even Julius Katongole Mumiransanafu, whose political maturity is still in question, is being packaged by some as an alternative. But voters know the difference between public stunts and genuine service.
Reflecting on the Road Ahead. While the political tides are shifting, one thing remains constant, Aloysius Mukasa still enjoys deep rooted support in Rubaga South. The whispers of replacing him are louder among power brokers than the people. In the ghettos, churches, and youth circles, Mukasa is still referred to simply as “our man.”
Rubaga South may be contested, but it is far from lost. Mukasa’s story is not one of collapse it is one of quiet continuity and unshakable loyalty to the cause of the people.
As 2026 approaches, the voters not the political schemers will have the final say. And they have not forgotten the man who stood with them when no one else believed in him.
