Phiona Nyamutoro’s Mother’s Day Message Sparks Speculation Over Nebbi MP Run

Phiona Nyamutoro, the current Minister of State for Energy and Mineral Development has set political circles abuzz, hinting at her intention to run for Woman Member of Parliament in the 2026-2031 term.

Nyamutoro, a familiar face in youth and national affairs, shared a yellow campaign poster on X (formerly Twitter) featuring her smiling portrait.

The message on the poster paired with her public description as someone who has “mothered great and significant citizens for our Nation”

Many have interpreted as the soft launch of the Minister's parliamentary campaign.

Her slogan, "LERO PA NEBBI ZIM ZIM" means ''Today for Nebbi, Strong and Steady''

The post quickly caught the attention of her followers and political observers. Some praised her leadership and mentorship, while others welcomed what they called “a refreshing and youthful energy” in the district’s politics.

Nyamutoro’s bid could reshape the competition for the Woman MP seat in 2026.

Phiona Nyamutoro’s Mother’s Day message might go down as the moment her campaign journey quietly began.

She will be running under the National Resistance Movenment (NRM) led by President Yoweeri Museveni Kaguta who has led the country for over 4 decades.
