Bobi Wine’s Nephew James Churchill Ssentamu Wins Makerere University’s 91st Guild Elections

· Campus

James Churchill Ssentamu has emerged victorious as the 91st Guild President of Makerere University, clinching the title in a dramatic election.

The independent candidate’s win marks a surprising upset, especially given his ties to the National Unity Platform (NUP) ecosystem, led by his rumored uncle, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine.

James Churchill Ssentamu has been declared the 91st Guild President of Makerere University, capping a fiercely contested election that saw the independent candidate pull off a stunning victory.

Ssentamu’s triumph marks a significant moment for the prestigious institution, as he overcame a crowded field and defied expectations after losing the National Unity Platform (NUP) primaries earlier in the race.

The announcement came from the Makerere University 91st Electoral Commission following an online voting process that concluded yesterday evening.

His closest competitors included candidates affiliated with NUP and other independents, but Ssentamu’s independent run resonated with students seeking a break from partisan divides.

Ssentamu’s journey to the guild presidency was anything but conventional.

After failing to secure the NUP ticket during the party’s internal primaries at Makerere, he chose to run as an independent, a decision that initially raised eyebrows but ultimately paid off.

Students and observers see Ssentamu’s election as a potential turning point. “Churchill’s victory shows you don’t need a party machine to win.
